Quick photoshoot Donington Grey X5M

Featured on BIMMERPOST.com

My good friend and amateur photographer, Mike Mauro, took some quick photos of my Donington Grey X5M. I think they came out great!

I'm still waiting for my 612M 21" wheels to arrive, although I do like the 611M 20".

EDIT: more photos added 4/15/15...see Post #49 (page 3)

Thanks! The interior shots didn't come out too well, so I didn't post them, sorry.

That damned prideful photographer! Doesn't he realise the desperate need for interior pictures of the X5M?

(Nice work tho)

NickRac · 04-11-2015, 07:40 PM

Think I need to order one...

Vassilis1971 · 04-11-2015, 08:11 PM

Nice pics. Congrats. Wifey says your color choices are bold and classy. I agree. Well done.

jpsjr70 · 04-11-2015, 08:27 PM

Looks amazing Steve! I'm really loving that color combo, having second thoughts....... I don't think I can go though the order processing again! Lots of luck pal! Picked mine up yesterday, will take pics tomorrow.

Yes, it was a bold choice on my part, having never seen either color in person before. I think the colors compliment the X5M very well.

Did you order the 21" inch wheels as a spare set or did they mess up on the order and they will swap the wheels?? I just picked mine up 2 days ago and it came with 20" even though I ordered the 21". My sales guy made an honest mistake when he placed the order. Dealership said they couldn't do anything unless I wanted to order another X5M. Sales guy felt really bad about it so he paid for the 4 black grills out of his pocket.

I ordered the 21" wheels, but the car was built with the 20". I'm not sure who made the mistake, but after my car left the factory my dealer ordered the 21" and they are on their way from Germany. If my dealer could do it, I'm sure yours could. They are going to swap the wheels, I don't get to keep the 20s.

I'm glad they're making you whole.

Of course I laugh that all the parts for a U.S.-built vehicle have to come from Germany.

Nate@IND · 04-13-2015, 06:59 AM

Some of the best photos I have seen of the new X5M

Yes, the dealer is really stepping up, which is why I've been buying BMWs from them for years.

Thanks Nate! The credit goes to Mike though; I simply bought the car lol.

MonacoJoe · 04-13-2015, 08:38 AM

the 20s look really good actually

the 612's will prob look more aggressive but the 611s look more rugged.

I agree, the 611s are actually growing on me, but I prefer the larger 21" with Michelin Pilot Super Sports.

Luminor513 · 04-15-2015, 11:23 AM

That color looks perfect on the X5M
