Love my new X5M

TheFutureOfCoffee · 05-27-2016, 09:52 AM

I love this vehicle so much - it's so different from my M4 but such an easy and fun car to drive everyday. Whenever I walk to it, I smile. It really is a constant happiness machine. Only one shortcoming so far seems to be the eyeglasses holder, I can't find my rather small Maui Jims sun glasses in there.......

Does it not have a compartment below the light selector switch on the left?

Very nice X5M! Congrats!

It sure does! Thanks to you I just found that. My glasses still don't fit in there. Is there some secret to getting the built-in holder in the top center to hold them?
I can't imagine I am doing it wrong lol.

Congrats! Beautiful X5M, drive it in good health and go get a Dinan Upgrade.

So I was at my dealership yesterday and sat in an X5 (they didn't have an X5M). I noticed this compartment I suggested is considerably smaller than on my M5. I'm assuming the X5M is the same as the X5, which as you said is too small for sunglasses.

Cul-de-sac... you know what that means. Donuts!

45 compact fits nicely.

my sunglasses are on the large side and i put them in lens first and they fit just ok in the sunglasses compartment next to the map light but i noticed that the button gets stubborn sometimes with or without the glasses inside.

I have an X6M, basically same car as the X5M, best daily sports car ! Just came back from a road trip, super stable cruising at 90 - 100, flew to 120 when traffic permits, takes corner like a sports car.

I don't see X6Ms often but when I do, I just can't keep my eyes off of them!

Glad you mentioned the sunglass holder... I thought I was crazy when I couldn't fit my smallest pair in there.
