X5 ///M just started production today (Silverstone/ Mugello Red)

Worked with Steve Thomas BMW on my third ///M. My F10 M5 goes back mid November and I was able to work up another solid deal with BMWDavid. They were able to get me a slot for one of the last '17s.

Options:

Silverstone/ Mugello Red Leather (Full)/ Carbon Fiber Trim
Executive Package
Driver's Assistance Package
20" Wheels

Hope to pick her up late September/ early October (if my November request falls through) via PCD.

QUESTION: Do any of the windows come tinted? Random I know

I'll second the congrats! We don't see enough Silverstone on here. You will love the MR interior. I ordered mine without ever seeing it in person, and it makes me happy every day!

The rear windows are REALLY dark for factory tint. I think they metered out at 16 or 17%. The tint guy I use said it was the darkest he had ever seen from the factory. I tinted the fronts at 20% to get as close as possible. I had only ever done 35% and was worried it would be too dark, but it looks great. The red interior makes the tint seem much lighter.

Thanks sir, my first SUV and I'm not a fan of tint on sedans. The GF was asking me this last week and I had no idea.

I'll leave the front windows "as is".

Thanks sir. I remember your thread last year and Silverstone/ MR ultimately became my preferred color combo. I might do a similar drive back home on the Blue Ridge Parkway.

How many miles are you at now? Also does the car come with Summer Tires or All Seasons?

I'd imagine with the silverstone/MR, you'd want people to see the interior. Congrats again and post pics when you get it!

That's correct, David gave me a heads up on that last week. I opted for the 20" since I may run winters here in Western PA.

Thought I saw in another thread that you have an X5 ///M on order as well?

The only way you should say "I may" run winters is if you don't plan on driving it in the winter. Do not attempt to drive on those summer tires in the cold, never mind the snow.

I had to bite my nails for a few weeks waiting for my winters. The temps weren't even that cold yet and I could feel the loss of grip at 40.

Fully understood. Had my M5 here two winters so I know the drill.

I have the Volvo (on Blizzaks) that I plan to drive most of the winter.

The salt here is bad enough as is.

Congratulations!

I just picked up my X5M last Friday...it was built the last week of July and got to the dealer a couple of weeks ago. I did not order it...I was looking for 2017's in the area and it matched the configuration I was looking for so it worked out.

Yup, the 2017 Production Run ends next week. No significant changes to the 2018's besides package bundling.

Thanks. I can never seem to find a car spec'd out the way I want (exactly) on the dealer lot. Good stuff though. Any pics?
