New '15 X5 xDrive35i M Sport

jjl · 05-21-2015, 05:51 AM

Picked up my '15 xDrive 35i from BMW Manhattan yesterday. Specs:

Space Gray/Mocha Nappa
M Sport
Cold Weather
Driver Assistance
Lighting
Mocha Interior Design
Premium
Soft Close Doors
Parking Assistant
Harmon Kardon
Fineline Oak Trim w Anthracite headliner

The dealership and delivery experience were top notch and i'm very impressed with this vehicle, coming from a '06 ML 350. Shopped the Range Rover Sport as well but preferred how the X5 drove and the lease numbers were much better with the X5. The '19's w/ Pirelli Scorpions are perfect for city/allweather driving and look great to me. Happy with the color combo. The Mocha pack is beautiful, especially the dash. Love the anthracite headliner and pano roof. Love the snarl the engine makes on startup. Love the subtle M logos on the rims, steering wheel, doorsills and even key fob. Looking forward to my next 3 years with this car.

Very nice! Congrats! It is the same color as mine.. why didn't you spec out the Msport with Adaptive M suspension?

I took a car that was on the dealer lot..it was pretty much exactly what I wanted. I really liked the way that the X-line test car drove, which had the standard suspension, so decided i didn't need the DDC/Air suspension. Plus i had air suspension on my prior ML and it caused me issues early on, the shocks failed. Don't want my car to drive overly firmly, got a wife and kids.

Very impressed with this car, just a really well sorted out and executed machine. Love it.

Nice whip man...enjoy! Space Grey was my 2nd choice behind Mineral White.

VERY NICE!! I originally approached the same dealer in their lower Manhattan showroom, but the sales guy was so uninformed about the features of the F15 I never came back.

No, it's Fort Tryon Park just off the West Side Highway. I live on the Upper West Side and took it for a drive up the highway after picking it up and stopped here to play with the car while parked.

I used the midtown Manhattan dealer at 55th and 11th, got a referral to a salesperson there from a colleague. Could not have been happier with the purchase process. PM for a referral, my sales guy was great.

Looks very nice. Congratulations and enjoy your new ride. Interior and exterior colour combination is great.
