You didn't want to go for the B&O sound? I just find most of BMW's "base" or "upgraded" stereos to be severely lacking. Maybe the standard in the X5M is different. |

Thanks!
I've never had a loud interior like red, but I think it will look very sporty, especially with the Donington Grey. I didn't feel $3,700 was worth spending for the B&O sound system. I'll put that money towards a Winter wheel/tire set.

My current X5 had Summer performance tires, as will the X5 M. I have a set of Winter wheels and tires for my X5 and will need them for my X5 M as well. We get a decent amount of snow here. The Summer tires are useless in temps below 40 degrees. I don't drive my M3 much in the Winter, so it isn't an issue for that car.

$3700 for a stereo system is stupid, in my opinion; $100,000+ for an X5 M SAV that can match the performance of an E9X M3 isn't. |

1. F85/F86 have bigger brakes. I think minimum rim size is now 20" 2. I think they got rid of the different hub size madness. I haven't had formal confirmation of either yet, but that's been "the suspicion" from the guys at the stealership. |

I was told by the BMW parts department that the E70 rims won't fit.

Correct, the E70 X5 rims won't fit the E70 X5M. I'm assuming my Winter 19" E70 X5 rims won't fit the F85 X5M since they won't fit the E70 X5M.

Congrats on the new X5M! Can't wait to see the pics!
Did you have to pay msrp or did the dealer come off some? My 2013 X5M didn't have the B&O option upgrade, and I'm glad it's available now. The sound system of my 2013 X5M pales in comparison to my M4 with HK sound system, so B&O would be one of my select options. Congrats again!

You will love the Mugello Red Full Merino Leather interior. That's what I got after having a black / black X6 and it's awesome. It's just bright enough not to be over the top. Funny thing, when I was picking up my first car at the Performance Center, the instructor, a real nice guy, told me how classic my car looked with black exterior and interior, and that he thought that getting a red interior was completely over the top. And here I was three years later picking up my current car there with a blue exterior and a red interior.

Just caught your thread and thought I'd post a couple pics from the Detroit Auto Show from last week. The doors were locked but there are some really cool features on the new X5M. Check out the rear view mirror detail to eliminate winde noise.

As you've seen the new generation interior "in person" I've got a selfish question for you ;p.... what did that red interior in the X5M look like? Good? Too loud?... |

Thanks for the pics troymi!! I'm jealous that you got to see the X5M in person.
Same question, how did the Mugello Red interior look in person?

I really just snapped pics here and there with my iPhone, so I didn't get to take any shots that would be considered "set up." That being said, the red interior is awesome. The color is distorted in the pic I took for sure. I would consider that color combo a primary mission. Think of it this way: BMW likes it enough to put it on the show car!
I'll try to get my pics organized and find your main thread to post them. It's time consuming as I have to go compress them all or I get the dreaded "format error." Thought you might enjoy seeing these though. |
