Shame. Adaptive cruise is amazing. It's good you get the diesel there!

Picked mine up last wk (M50d) - I’m really pleased with it so far - love carbon black but needs cleaning regularly. Found a guy locally to paint correct/ ceramic coat so will hopefully help

Sweet. Where are you getting the paint correction and ceramic coating from?

The only problem with this colour is that its gets dirty ever so quickly especially in the winter - but IMO best colour for an X5 when clean.

With my old f31 I did actually Clay it down myself and applied opticoat 2.0 which as I recall was a silicone based coat. That kept it very nice for a year to -8 months but then the beading etc dropped significantly. What's the longevity of a ceramic coat?

I recall how frustrating the wait was especially the time it crosses the pond
However it will be worth the wait! Just keep reviewing the X5 on these forums and You Tube and you will know everything you need without studying the owners manual. Good luck

[QUOTE=335dMSport+;23148454]I've got the Sapphire Black and it looks shite unless it's clean - can't wait for the summer!
The only issue I've found so far is the brakes aren't M Sport and I've had a couple of instances where I've had close calls as they've not been as sharp as I'd expect. In my M50d X6 about 2.5 years ago Was on the autobahn from Dusseldorf to The Netherlands (Spandu Ballet Concert!) and i was not paying enough attention as the road went from 2 to 1 lane and ended, but 380mm works pretty good taking me from around 240kph! Your X5 will be superb, my X6 has only had fuel filler cap lock break and rear hatch motorised stop working. 31mpg average over 18K which includes 140-150mph in Germany |

The 40d in the UK after 2500 miles is at 36mpg which is better on a long run obviously - the short stop start trips drink diesel. It's costing me 13p per mile, so more than covered by the HMRC

170 miles of M1 on the way home using sport mode at, lets say more than 70 mph averaged 35mpg Like I said, it's the town driving and constant acceleration that kills it. 340 miles of thereabouts and I still feel as fresh as a daisy
