I despised silver cars for years as the market was flooded with the color. My mindset changed when I saw a GSM on black Dakota while shopping for my X5. The color looks stunning. Great choice and enjoy!

The more pics I see of 469Ms, the more I wish I custom ordered vs buying a lot-car.
Congrats and welcome!

Thank you guys!
I traded in our Panamera back in April since my wife was not really driving it. Salesman contacted me on Jul/8 to inform we could order a MY2016. Order was placed on Jul/10. On Jul/17 I changed roof rails from black to satin aluminum (thanks to member turbotoy4me for posting photos of his X5 with SA rails). Production started on Aug/10 and Track Your BMW changed to "at your dealer" status on Aug/17. Picked up the car on Aug/18 |

I did the same but I got such a good discount for a car off the lot that I happily traded in my 497 for staggered oem 21 375 M wheels and still saved compared to custom order (which for me would have taken 5-6 months because i live in HK)

I am really surprised that GSM isn't a more popular color since it's really beautiful when seeing it in person.
Enjoy the new car. Alan |

Really nice looking X5 there!
Since you have 3rd row, what's your opinion about it? Are adults 5'3" - 5'5" going to be comfortable for short trips around town? If you have a chance, can you take some photos of the leg room for the 3rd row? Thanks in advance! |

Keep in mind that the 2nd row slides (front / back) around 5-7 inches creating more leg room for the 3rd row. For sporadic trips the 3rd row will work just fine. But sincerely, If you plan to use the 3rd row on a daily basis I don't think the X5 is your best option.
