MW has a certain depth to it... AW is very plain white... it's all what you like. But you'll have to see for yourself... look at it in the sunlight... go back to the dealership when it's dark and see it then. Don't leave out any options... you're not going to change the color of the paint so you have to hit a home run and get what you REALLY want.

And the sport mode from the M Sports finally makes me feel it's comparable to the GLE Coupe that I test drove :-)

Thanks to Blackhawks again for letting me test drive his X5!
To me this is the description that will sell anyone on mppk. If it really feels this different (comfort feels like sport when equipped w mppk), then I can't wait to get mine installed. That can only mean sport turns into something that much more exciting, specially w low end torque that's missing now.

Btw, you def made the right choice on looks alone. The gle is not a looker imo. I rather drive the x6 and I don't like that one by much.

Congrats on the x5 choice! Make sure you take a look at a good sample build like Blackhawks.

Did they give you a potential delivery date yet? And I had them install the MPPK before I got to the dealership... that way you won't have to take it back. It worked out really well... and I know they know what they're doing.

at first he said it can be by the end of month, but after he put in the order, there is a restriction showing up on the M suspension, which might mean some of the parts is out for that option or something like that :-(

And I'll just need to check again next week to see if there is any update...

I like our MSport with MPPK and MPE, but curious the OPs thoughts on responsiveness had he driven an MSport w/out the MPPK as the auto has been reprogrammed to be more "sport"

There was a restriction on the entire M Sport package when I placed my order. It only means that dealers cannot order them for their lots... But if there's a guaranteed sale, they process it. I still got mine in 11 days (or something like that).

That's good to know! I hope mine can be ready like what the sales originally said then.

Now the question is, should I start buying the hop up parts

I haven't driven one with just the MSport w/o MPPK, I do wonder what'd be the different :-)

The difference is still very apparent. Defiently a good increase in low end torque and throttle response. Very happy with mine paired with mpe

I'm planning to get a set of 22" wheels, so I probably will sell the stock wheels that come with the X5.

Are the wheels easy to sell? I didn't upgrade the 19" to 20" when I placed the order, if they both have similar demand, then I might just keep the order as is.

What do you guys think?

20" are standard in canada on msport which makes the 19" wheel worth even less imo

If the car didn't go into production you might be able to change the order... it's not like it's a drivetrain change. See what Eugen can do for you...

Or keep the 19" for winter set up since you are in Chicago? Unless you already have something planned for winter.

Yea, winter might be a problem. I have the sales add the 20s for me and he said it'll not affect the delivery time.

But yea, good point on having a winter setup. Originally I plan to have the 22" with Perrili Scorpion zero Asimmetrico, it is listed as an all season tire, will it suffice the winter?

I wouldn't do 22" low profile all season tire in chicago. Heck all seasons are only ok in the snow when they are normal sizes.

"I have good news and bad news my friend. Good news is the car actually went into production this morning. Bad news is with it in production I can not add the 20 inch wheels."
