Collected my brand new X5 40d SE today

[GeeRam]

Atlas Cedar with Amaro Brown Individual Merino leather & Piano Black trim, Comfort front seats, Pure Experience Exterior Design Pack, Sport Auto, Pro Adaptive Suspension (DHP), Harmon-Kardon audio, Cold Weather Pack, LED headlights, Electric towbar, Sun protection glass & model badge deletion.

After 6 years owning a BMW E82 135i, it’ll be a while getting used to the size of the thing, and the lack of stopping distances with ¾ tonne more weight and no massive 6-pot Brembo’s upfront  )

Love it though 





Love the illuminated BMW Individual door sill trims  :shades:

I hope you enjoy it!

I am curious why you havent gone to the Msport spec with the amount of optionals you chose - any particular reason?

The world and his dog has a MSport and I like being different

In reality I didn't want the comedy wheel/tyre sizes of the MSport (especially as 20" is now standard) as I wanted the 19" squared rims sizes with all-season tyres for practical reasons.

fair point, of course everyone will have their own reason and each f15 is an amazing car on its own right - enjoy the beauty!

Lovely car , unusual colour but works very well ! It is nice being individual .
  Is it easier to order or do they try to get you to go with the minions ?

No, and nothing unusual about the order process at all, just a normal order. Atlas Cedar only became available last summer, and its the first one my dealer has ordered, and its possibly the first one in the UK....given its only available on the SE, and most X5 orders are for MSports.

Lovely colour. My biggest gripe with the Msports is the colour choices. Enjoy
