Blue/Red X5M pics and driving impressions

[deathray]

Hi Folks,

Picked up the new beast today and I have to say that I am stunned. It is so much better than the E70 that it's staggering. The transmission smoothness and programs are nearly up to the DCT level and, unlike the last one, the gearing actually makes sense. Better yet it doesnt lumber through the corners! It is a tight and well balanced drive. I cant wait till Im through break-in and I can really open it up.

Im posting a few pics below, but, it was overcast with a slight drizzle today so I didnt get too many. The next nice and sunny day we have Ill take a few more and put them up. With respect to the interior pics, it looks far more orange in the pictures than it actually is. I would say the interior is probably one of the best things about the vehicle. The leather and detailing are great and I have spent at least half an hour playing with the mood lighting.

Congrats on the beautiful ride!! Love the color combo. I was wondering why did you get the 20" rims. Enjoy it safely and in good health

Great question with an interesting answer......I didnt order the 20's, the factory made a booboo. Theyre being swapped out for the 21s next week.
