Space Grey Metallic
Ivory Nappa Leather Package
Fineline Oakwood Trim
M-Sport
20" wheels (469M)
Cold Weather Package
Driver Assistance Package
Driver Assistance Plus
Dynamic Handling Package
Lighting Package
Luxury Seating Package
Premium Package
Side Window Shades
Adaptive M Suspension
Bang & Olufsen Sound System

I took these photos at the dealership, so it's nowhere as nice as chrisny's snowy back drop or fedmas's brookside photoshoot. If there's anything you want me to take a photo of to see in detail, let me know. Enjoy!

Please check your PM.
I requested a copy of delivery checklist.
Thank in advance!

Sigh. Why do you keep asking this question over and over? The luxury seating package has active ventilation. That is the only active feature available on the F15. The seats do not massage or inflate or anything else.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but here are some of the other threads for your reference:

There are almost no pictures of Space Gray, and you've also got the interior I've ordered (albeit with different wood)....

Thanks!
Interior shots.

Nice interior pics. I am planning to get the same interior package like you have.

Is your dashboard "Napa leather dashboard"?

I believe so, because it's a Napa leather package.

I'm considering ordering the same exact color combo. How has the ivory seats held up? Still happy with the combo?

Seats are like new with some creases from everyday use. I clean and condition them couple times a month and have no issues with dirt or jean stains. It's a great combo. Looks great and isn't hot to sit on when sun's been beating on the car for hours. Highly recommend it. But if you're not the cleaning type, then I'd say get a darker color.

Here's an interesting note. I am just about to purchase a MSport F15 in Canada also. The MSport package incloudes Ceramic Control in Canada. But in the shots, this car doesn't have Ceramic Control - did you remove this option for some reason?

Zipforia, I know this thread is old but you commented on the SUV being top heavy which makes sense but I think based upon my experience the DHP would help reduce the big SUV feeling into a smaller more agile feel. Especially when this option reduces the body roll during turns. Also regarding the floor mats, I believe you need to remove the carpeted mat and place the all weather mat to be more secure fit.

Nice Color combo... I have the Space gray and Nevada color interior in my E70. I think when I order my next X5 it will be the graphite Grey or a more darker grey color.

Ceramic Controls were never part of the MSport Package when I placed my order. It wa a separate option that I chose not to get.

You're absolutely right. DHP helps tremendously. Makes this SUV performs much better than most SUVs out there.

I got the floor liner issue sorted. My liners never came with the securing hooks, so I had to call WeatherTech to have them ship it to me. Now all is well.

That would be a very nice color. I saw a Black Saphire Metallic today. If you're going to go with a dark (almost black) color, I would suggest you consider this color. Very nice.

Z, every time you mention your DHP and how it handles, I really wish I could have it in mine...ugh.

I got the WeatherTech front and rear floor mats as well for my car through a forum member here. I didn't get hooks either. If I call WeatherTech, will they send me the hooks? I notice in the driver side the most that the mat constantly moves back and forth (quite annoying).

I agree that Space Grey is a beautiful color. That was my second choice after I saw it next to the black X5's I went to see.

Haha...sorry about that. I'll stop mentioning DHP.

I got mine from WeatherTech directly, so they had my order in their computer system. Not sure if you got a new one from a member or used. But either way, if you contact WeatherTech, I'm sure they will sell you hooks, if not send them to you for free. After that, all you have to do is take the BMW floor mat hooks off and replace that with the WeatherTech hooks.

Thanks! I'm very happy with my exterior color. But honestly, it wasn't my first choice. I wanted the Imperial Blue, but they didn't offer that in M-Sport, so I couldn't get it.

Thanks for the info, buddy. I purchased the mats brand new. I'll contact WeatherTech tomorrow. I actually ordered their full sets front, back, and cargo for both our MLs recently. Those didn't have hooks either. Not sure if MLs come with hooks though, but I'll ask. I didn't even know they came with them until you mentioned it. I was wondering why they had those holes.

The darker graphite grey color I was referring to is similar to the platinum grey color of the E70. Its not that dark or does not look black at all. I've had black sapphire metallic on my 2007 5 series back in 2006 and it was a real pain to keep clean and any small micro nicks or scratches show very easily..... So I know what you mean.
