Quick photoshoot Donington Grey X5M

Adem1534 · 04-15-2015, 04:42 PM

Planning on getting the M2 in DG... I bet DG looks even better in person. Looks so sweet in these pics!

Joe S · 04-15-2015, 05:32 PM

Beautiful colour! "Shimmering dark silver" would be a more suitable name instead of DG lol

Will you please post pics of the interior as well? I'm always wanting to see how the interior and exterior blend/contrast.

Awesome car! Enjoy!

Mike took some interior shots, but he didn't like the way they came out, so he'll do another shoot soon.

Yeah, I have Sakhir Orange leather. It's tough to get pics that reflect the true color.

They actually brought good colors to the NY show for once.

The wheels I'm swapping are the OEM 21" BMW 612M wheels with the Michelin Pilot Super Sports.

This is stunning!! Thank you for sharing, Mike did a great job

I was wondering why you did not get the B&O?

Thanks! The credit goes to Mike!!

I didn't think the B&O was worth $3700, the Harman Kardon is fine for me. I spent the money on an OEM BMW Winter wheel/tire set instead.

Awesome X5M build and great photographs. The DG paint looks like liquid metal in some of the pics. Congrats.

+1. I agree. Can you add the winter wheel set to MSRP/lease and get it residualized and return it at the end of the lease?

gblansten · 04-15-2015, 08:14 PM

Great thread and fantastic pics of my favorite color for an M vehicle.

I'm not sure if you could add it to the lease. I doubt the leasing company would take the Winter set back. My Winter set arrived before my car did, but I'm not leasing so it didn't matter in my case.

Bigmouth Studio · 04-15-2015, 09:10 PM

So beautiful.

Mik3ymomo · 04-15-2015, 09:19 PM

This is the most comfortable seat I've had the pleasure of sitting in. If for nothing else that would seal the deal on a car for me these days.

It's more comfortable then both my current vehicles and I didn't think the seats could be beat in my 435 Msport

DrewBert · 04-15-2015, 09:39 PM

Just saw one of these in person at the Regina,SK dealership! Pretty sexy colour

mshab356 · 04-15-2015, 10:19 PM

My god that interior is the sexiest!!! How does Mugello Red compare to Sakhir Orange?

Vassilis1971 · 04-15-2015, 10:52 PM

Simply stunning. I'm so happy i changed my order to CF trim. Enjoy every mile.

ScoopsLR · 04-16-2015, 01:14 AM
