Someone on a different forum has access to the stats:

59 - 2015-2018 BMW X5 M (KT63) - NA painted in Long Beach Blue Metallic (C16) with Aragon Brown Complete Merino Leather (X3D8) interior were built for the US market.

7 were built for the Canadian market.

The most rare option in this car is the option 6NS. It was installed on 1536 out of 6230 cars.

The most rare option in this car is the option S6NSA - Convenience phone, expanded Smartphone. It was installed on 1,536 out of 6,230 cars.

Sure, it might take a little longer to find the right buyer, but that buyer does exist. If you custom ordered a fire orange e90m3 with a stick and sunroof delete...it will definitely command a premium over a "run of the mill" e90 m3. While slightly different, the same was true with Ferrari's F430...the last of the mid engine cars you could get with a stick. People opted against the stick because a lot of people either don't have the skill or desire to row their own gears. Now? A F430 with the F1 tranny is in the $90k range and ones with the 6spd are near $200k.

For whatever reason, there weren't that many who opted for Long Beach Blue and, when they did, opted for either a black interior or silver. I think the shocking blue goes great with the rich aragon brown interior.

I agree with this statement. I was looking for LBB and Aragon Brown interior too. Two of them were out of state and sold before I can even get out there to see them. Was looking for almost a month in a half for one and almost gave up and went for a Black with Brown interior. Was going to wrap it 3M Gloss Blue Raspberry. Just my luck, a LBB and Aragon popped up the day before I was going to the dealership. It was the same dealership where the Black one was. Went there first thing the next morning on Saturday and bought it. Around noon, a couple came in to see the LBB too. But they were too late. Picked it up on Wed. and the salesman said like 5 people came to look at this X5M.

Hi everyone.. Im a BMW noob and having had my 2017 X5M for a week, im still learning. Does my car have carplay as standard? I have not found where to activate it with cable or wireless over bluetooth.

Thanks and best regards.

You should be able to activate car play for free via the BMW connected drive website as it should be free now. But they are still asking for money in the UK. So check the connected drive website to see if it is free in your country.

Hi guys please help me, I have a 2016 X6M and I want to get the carplay. I heared if the vehicle has Navi Professional and 6AK option then you can flash your software to get the carplay, is it true?

But most go with the one AvinUsa.com difference is one has 720 screen other 480. Both are fantastic.

Thanks for your post! I have the Android Avin Avant4 on my workhorse BMW X5 2005 4.4 and it has transformed its stone-age headunit into one rivaling the latest BMWs. Sometimes makes my wife jealous of the features I have compared to her 2015 X6M. - touchscreen, wireless carplay, wifi, lots and lots of apps such as youtube, pandora, etc. And it looks exactly like the factory HU it replaced.

I know if I tell her hers can be upgraded, she will demand it pronto! Planning to upgrade it any way .
