X5 Finally Here After 5 Months!

My Mineral White X5 is here at last. Picked up at 2pm today, only done about 70 miles so far with no obvious problems.

Few pictures attached.

Thanks, I'm happy so far! It was a bit of a surprise to get it so soon, I was convinced it would not be ready and I'd have to wait another few days.

Delivered nearly three weeks before original delivery estimate so can't complain.

US bumper have that reflector that we all ended up getting it painted to match the body color. Even that, it still shows the outline.

Wow! Great photographs. First time I've seen the bumper without the reflectors.

Gotta say, the reflectors never bothered me much, even after seeing pics of guys' cars that have painted them.. But seeing this one, now that I look at one with no reflector and no trace of them, it does look so much cleaner.

Thanks for the kind words guys, much appreciated. I really like the Mineral White.

On a slightly negative note, my wife has just pointed out that the front wings (fenders?) are a slightly different color to the rest of the car...

I've got a rattle in the base of the rear seat too; when my wife site on that part of the seat the rattle disappears so at least it should be easy to track down and fix.

I'm still waiting to have my front grill trims fitted - i was in too much of a hurry to give the dealer time to fit them today!

Very nice! Mine is mineral white and Mocha and it's being delivered to the dealer today. However I can't get it until Monday as I already have plans to be out of town this weekend.

LED Adaptive Headlamps

Can I just reinforce what other users have said about the LED headlamps, they are absolutely superb! I've driven the F25 with dynamic Bi-Xenons for a couple of years (so I'm pretty used to their characteristics & capabilities) and all I can say is that the F15's LED'S are on a different planet. If anyone is trying to decide or justify choosing this option, think no more, just tick the box and move on

MC seats are another such option, adjustable in every direction - if you can't get comfortable on these seats then you must be deformed Just tick the box!

I like driving the X5 in sport mode though have configured that particular mode to modify the Chassis only. That way I get the improved steering weight and feel along with the increased damping rates without the gearbox hanging on to gears any longer than normal - suits me anyhow!
