New 2018 X5 M owner
Hi, I've been lurking on this forum for a few weeks now. I ordered my X5 M end of October and was told it wouldn't be in until January 25th, but I got a call last night and to my delighted surprise was told it would be in this afternoon
Here is how I ordered it Mineral White Black Full Merino Leather Carbon Fiber Trim Executive Package 21" 612M Black wheels Apple CarPlay Bang & Olufsen Rear-seat entertainment Night Vision Coming from a 2015 Xdrive 50i, I'm hoping this to be a big step up. I'll post some pics later today after I get it. Last edited by R///MG; 01-19-2018 at 03:18 PM.. |

In comfort mode this thing is better than the 50i I had in Sport Plus

Nice one! Love the new black 612M wheels.
Is the privacy glass tinted at all? Or do you need to have a tint installer put a clear UV tint on the rear when matching (as close as possible), the front? |

The rear windows are tinted from the factory. The front windows come with nothing, so I'll probably get them tinted to match. |

Im not so sure that privacy glass is tinted (UV reflective), hence my question. Ive read mixed reports of people having to actually tint the privacy glass.
Its not a normal tint you would use however, as it needs to be clear to not make the privacy glass any darker. |

That's probably true it isn't UV reflective for heat. The glass is like just smoked dark glass from the factory. When I look into tint shops I'll ask them about it.

Sweet I have the same color. I really want those black 21s. I plan to tint the front two windows and windshield along with kidney grilles, badges and maybe a black wrap around the lower fascia bar. Then again I really want to mod so compromise will need to occur as 3 cars in 18 months and a new home is making my bank account literally begging me to stfu lol.

I've heard that black rims look better in person (especially on white bmw) than on photos - photos don't do justice. Is it really so? I'm asking, because I want to go for similar look with black rims on my alpine white x5 and was wondering about your opinion
