AwesomeM3's MBB/SS X5MC finally arrived!

So excited that my X5M Competition finally arrived! I've been on my dealer's wait list for almost a year, and they received their first allocation in March, so I ordered it and it was built three weeks ago.

I'm coming out of an F85 X5M, so the first thing I noticed was the outstanding technology in the F95. Also, the interior is amazing, much nicer than my F85. I've only put on about 20 miles, so I can't give my driving impressions yet. Many people have complained about the harsh ride, but it feels comfortable to me.

The Marina Bay Blue color is absolutely stunning. The photos don't do it justice. The Silverstone interior compliments the blue exterior nicely. The seats are as comfortable as the F85 seats, but these have a massage feature which is very nice.

I'll be reading the owner's manual this weekend to try to figure out how to set up everything. I'll be getting PPF and ceramic coating next week.

I'm hoping I don't have the air conditioning compressor issues that others have had. It's hot here on the East coast, so it won't be enjoyable to drive this thing without AC.

Love it, I had that color combo blue and silverstone in the past and loved it but remember that jeans and other colored clothes bleed onto that leather. Ours is black interior and not my pick but was available. I wish aragon brown was available but only on the F90 M5.

Good things do come to those who wait! Great things in this case. It looks fantastic - not sure what I like better the interior or exterior...just bad ass.

I know you've been "impatiently" waiting for yours too and it sounds like your twin X5M isn't too far away. I can tell you the wait is worth it!

Thanks Miko! It was a long wait, but worth it!

Under wraps are an E92 M3 (original owner, 16,000 miles) and a 1967 Corvette.

Very nice.... that V8 in E92 can scream.

I had both E90 and E92

First V8 in M3 and last we ever gone see.

Yup, that's one reason why I'm going to hold on to the M3 for a while.

Looks so good. Interior is the best choice IMO.
It does feel thought that the X5M only comes in 3 colors.

I don't know about $100k+ anytime soon, but I wouldn't mind if it were true

I love the Silverstone

The majority of HEA vehicles were either black or blue, which is why you're not seeing a variety of colors. Many of the custom ordered vehicles were cancelled for 2020 and postponed for 2021 orders.

Makes sense. Let me know how well jeans play with silver stone. That's my only fear.

awesome! if I ever pull the trigger on new X5M I'll do same specs, missed on SS on my previous Monte Carlo Blue and had to settle for black merino, it was easy to take care of but not as nice as SS.

congratulations!

I'm a little concerned about the maintenance to keep the Silverstone clean...time will tell.
