Looks awesome! The M performance kit compliments the AW colour well…

Mineral White, the pearlescent finish doesn't translate very well in photos but is adorable in real life. Smart looking car all round.

I only fitted the front lip and grills. Didn't see the point in fitting anything else. Have a tow bar as well, which has been a nightmare. Apparently the wire in kit for the aussie lighting systems doesn't like talking to the bmw software. Also the rear tow bar assembly is not like a traditional box tube. The entire tow bar mounts via a coupling. Which proved disappointing when I went to install the rear bike carrier. Thank fully our local dealer has found a solution around this. Can't help but feel BMW dropped the ball here for Australian conditions.

I will be using the tow bar mainly for my Thule bicycle holder and occasionally hiring a trailer from Bunnings/Masters. |

Sorry guys I was away for a business trip recently and just come back. I am based in Sydney, and just got my dealership changed the lock, it opened by itself when I was driving, feel really threatened. Car was driven great until this happened.

Looks good! Is the tow bar OEM? What does the tow bar tongue look like?

Thanks for the photo NZPolarbear! The tongue looks similar to Hayman Reese, actually I prefer this over the euro type.
I've booked it to get mine done in March, will post photos once it has been fitted. |

My X5 seems to be stuck at the port in Savannah, with the following status "DELAYED-BIOSECURITY". Can anyone shed any light on this? The car has been loaded on the boat.

Our X5 has been held in Port Kembla for two weeks now for quarantine. Not sure if they are related, could be something b/w OZ and US?

Ruby black X5 50i M pack
September last year Purchased a new 2014 X5 50i with M pack, seven seater in mocha nappa leather throughout. Most options including the v cool thermal vision. It's in the individual colour "ruby black". Love the car. It did a stock 0-100 in 4.4 secs the other day as measured by m lap timer app. I have only managed a 4.3 in my M4 so far.

In specific response to the question about the spare wheel carrier, its my understanding that BMW Australia will not be doing the same for the F15 X5 (the spare wheel carrier shown was for the previous model E70 X5). The reason is that there was - unfortunately - such a poor uptake of the wheel carrier for the E70 that they will not be putting in the engineering effort to develop one for the F15. A pity because with the amount of country driving we do, we wouldn't do without the security of a full size spare (runflats or not). Even in our F25 X3 we have a full size spare permanently tied down in the back. Only had to use it once in 3.5 years, but it was worth it for the hassle it saved. Tony |

Looks like my x5 won't be here until late April now. I'm very tempted to go to the dealer and try and do a deal on one in stock! Anyone else had luck doing that before?
