My car has arrived!

Hi, ordered an X5 end of October and has just arrived at dealer. Collecting Saturday. To say I'm excited is an understatement!

Welcome, looks pretty similar to my colour.

Not familiar with the mirror cover though?

dealer can de-badge it for you on or before collection.
They can do after but not worth a hassle coming back ...

Make sure he gives you back the removed badges, or else they will be on Ebay in a couple of days.

Congrats and welcome.

Very, very nice and do love the colour combo.

Why oh why on the 50d models do they put different coloured mirror costs on? They look stupid and to me as if someone's knocked them and you could only get the the wrong coloured ones off eBay.

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone. Will put more picks up when collect it
Got dealer to put 19"winter wheels so doesn't look as good as it will come end of the winter- still after reading all your opinions of 20" tyres in the snow I think it's sensible
