New BMW F15 order X5 - opinions please

Just about to place my order for a new F15 X5:

40d Msport (313)
Sapphire black
ivory/ivory interior
sun protection /tinted glass
H&K speakers
TV function
20" 469M alloys
Panoramic sunroof
American Oak trim

Any one took delivery and let me know about the above. am i missing anything or any recommendations?

bit unsure about the ivory world, but dont like the black dash on the ivory/black.

Just sold my range rover sport and loved the colour combo but after a new engine and problems every other month had to let her go, hence why ive decided on an X5 rather than a new range sport.

If you're a fan of Ivory, you will have to make sure the leather is regularly cleaned and maintained, thats all. I got myself the Mocha Dakota Leather, it looks pretty nice too. You could check it out, and I also got it with american oak.

Replaced my 2011 Range Rover Sport Luxury with 2015 X5. I was apprehensive to make the change. I have it for 3 weeks now....no regrets. More comfortable, better technology. Less expensive, service included.
Best of luck.

Welcome.

I have Auxillary Heating and the Winter Pack...very useful this time of year.
Also specified CONNECTED DRIVE so you can do all kinds of stuff remotely.
A necessity IMHO.

How about snap in adaptor for your phone?

You don't say if you are going for the M Sport.

From reading other posts wish I had specified the LED Light Package and HUD.

Like you I have HK and VERY HAPPY with it.

PM me if you want my full spec and photos; I also have Carbon Black and Ivory/Black Dekota and looks The Poodles

Drivers Assistant, Drivers Assistant +, Dynamic Handling Package, or Adaptive M, LED lighting package, Night Vision, & M-Sport.

Used to think the Night Vision package would make traveling out in the wilds safer, that was the justification for getting it. Have found it is extremely useful in suburban areas where the street lighting leaves a bit to be desired. Have been amazed to spot people in dark clothing walking along that I DID NOT SEE until the NV alerted!

Has also proven very effective for doing energy audits on buildings!

Ivory interior package will also get you white (whiteish) carpets. I couldn't handle that.. So I went with Ivory/Black interior and that matches your Rover very well because they just updated to make lower panels and center console white and few more areas white, whereas it was black in the past. So while dash is still black, you get a lot more white with Black & White.


What's sun protection? Tinted windows?

Enjoy your nice X5.

appreciate your comments:
i have specified a 40d Msport (313hp).

being in the Uk the weather doesnt get too cold to warrant the winter pack, and already have the front heated seats included, not too worried about the steering wheel of rear heated seats. as long as the driver (me) has a toasty backside thats ok!

really apprehensive too about the change but going to order tomorrow and may now include the LED pack. anyone got any pics of the difference between LED's and standard lights?

One more thing have they updated the vory to now have the lower dash panels in ivory on the ivory/black spec for the UK????

Baunton - can you send images of the interior ivory/black you have please as the dealerships aren't that helpful if your not ordering from them. :/

LED Pack should be ticked, the car is more aggressive with it ☺
