Amazing pictures of the beast.
Thank you

Azurite is a beautiful color.

Gorgeous combination. I have a G30 and F85 and both times kept building cars with white interior but when came time to order chickened out for fear of them getting stained over time. How do the white seats look after 2 years? Pics would be awesome!

This part has been replaced under warranty because the color was not holding on the edges ...

Still looking great! What are you using to keep the silverstone leather clean? I have the same leather & color in my M4 vert, driven only 3 days during my ED, and started to notice the jeans staining the leather. Take re-delivery this week, getting prepared.

Enjoyed your pictures, carbon black is a great color, had it the past 6 years (X3&X5), went with LBB for the X5M.

Thank you.

LBB is a nice color too.

I'm using ColorLock leather cleaner and the other products their offer to maintain the leather clean and in good shape.

I'm wearing jeans everyday so I'm cleaning the leather frequently.

BEAUTIFUL Can Am!! We just ordered a 2018 x35i M line in Carbon Black, I am now working on an X5 M build in similar spec

https://www.bmwusa.com/byo.html#!/bu...mmary/diy8vq6s

Stunning pictures...any time I am considering another color I check in here and realize CB is the right choice! Love your interior but like others, also chickening out. I wear jeans most of the time so would be a full time job keeping the lot clean. Sonoma beige will be a nice compromise, I think

Thank you for sharing!

Thank you very much iiAtlas !

The white leather is not difficult to get cleaned up (with some good products) , but difficult to maintain it white !

If I had to choose again , I would've go with the beige leather.

It's a nice and light color , and requires less work to maintain clean.

You work hard to keep it clean, and we get to enjoy the pictures!

Sounds I am on the right track with the build. I look forward to joining the fun and sharing alongside Can Am!

PS: What are you running as a "winter setup" ? How do you like it! Lot of snow up here in northern Maine.

The CB is asking also a lot of work to get clean ... but I really enjoy it so much.

I don't have a winter setup for my X5M.

I don't get much snow where I live , and if it snows , than I take our X3 with an 18" winter tires package , that thing never gets stuck !

I had a winter setup for my previous E70 X5 30d , and it took me 2 years to sell it , after I sold the car ...

Aha! I suppose that works too

Hopefully I can come up with something which works! Enjoy your beautiful M Can Am, looking forward to more

You can't go wrong with a light color for the leather and a dark outside color

I love that contrast.

Hope to see soon some pics of your X5M !

Everyone with light leather should look into applying a ceramic coating product on the leather like Ceramic Pro. I likely will be doing in it in the next couple of weeks, it will protect the leather and allow it to be clean easily.
