My 1st M Series

Coming from a tuned Mercedes S550 4Matic, I am super impressed by this 2017 X5M! I’m still getting used to hearing road noise again, which was absent in the Mercedes, yet the driving experience is sooooo much better.

Full disclosure, this is my 83 POV and my first BMW. Having repeatedly heard BMW stands for Buy More warranty, I deliberately stayed away. However, the X5M seems to fare better than the acronym, from what I’ve read. Maybe this will be the ride I keep longer than 18 months!

Her name is “Beastie” and her Original MSRP was just shy of $114K. She is a perfectly maintained 2017 CPO with less than 24,000 miles.

Red on white looks awesome! I'm too messy to ever have white seats but man does that look good!

I also just bought my first M two weeks ago as well. Traded in my Porsche Macan for the X5M (also 24,000miles) and I couldn't be happier. The X5M is so much better and more fun to drive!

It looks great. I agree the white interior looks good with the red exterior.

BMW acronym is also aka "Burn My Wallet" but I'm sure there's more lol...Beautiful car bro! Love that color combo. Red was my first choice but wifey thought it was too "hot" so I ended up with a CPO '18 F85 Black Sapphire Metallic. From my research this SAV, if properly maintained, is good up to at least 100k miles without major repairs. I plan on keeping my car for at least 6 yrs (purchased Nov 2020) so I plan on purchasing the extended warranty for the duration of my loan for peace of mind. If you only plan on keeping for only a couple of years you can opt not to. Coming from a '16 M3 (F80) this SAV is just as fun to drive but biggest difference is our F85 is a perfect DO IT ALL - daily hauler, can be tracked, AWD so it's also perfect for winter, and best of all - it has a SPARE lol. So long drives are no problem! Another bonus is we got this car at a deep discount! Enjoy your new baby!
