Nice looking ride. I inquired about Frozen Gray and couldn't justify the 4k up charge. I was also worried about how it would handle he winter months...

But, I'm glad I got to see an X5 in the color I would have liked. Thanks for sharing.

This is wrapped with frozen grey vinyl. I had no idea it was 4k extra for the paint. The wrap cost me $3k to do lol.

I don't beleive special order colors are available on the suv's in the US, even if you want to pay the up charge. I tried paying for long beach blue and they couldn't do it.

I was quoted 4k and told it would add two weeks to the production time. He knew I was serious and confirmed with Spartanburg before relaying the info.

very cool. How do the springs affect the handling. I have an M50d and it's not as controlled as I would like!

I love the ACS springs, just a mild drop nothing too crazy but keeps the ride quality extremely comfortable. I don't know if the handling department has increased exponentially but i haven't felt anything negative yet. In the end its still a truck and no matter what you do probably wouldn't hand like an M3/M4

FYI - The OP's X5 is Carbon Black... the grey exterior is a vinyl wrap.
