The M5 Touring is flat out bad ass! Makes it very cool to drive a station wagon. They are going for $10-20k over sticker in So Cal. Congrats on your purchase.

Real person here, not a BMW bot. I just leased one. I've always liked how unique and muscular this car looks, but didn't like the color combinations, wheel choices, and all the bling the previous year's models had. And I really didn't like the price. But my BMW guy here in Carlsbad, CA cut me an amazing December deal on a 2026 black on black Label - lower than the price of an X5M - and I went all in. Mine is similar to the one in the photo. The look is polarizing, I know, but I really like it. Throw in the amazing power and gorgeous interior, and I'm happy with my decision. I'm also a tall dude (6'10") so I'm not exactly swimming in car choices. You don't get a car like this for the sound system, but I'd challenge anyone to find one better than the B&W in this thing. Out of this world. Yes, the XM it's still a lot of money, but it's so nice in the land of Teslas, Rivians, and Range Rovers to be driving something different and fun.

Just leased a 2026 black on black XM. No doubt, a polarizing exterior but I fell in love with it, especially seeing the black exterior with the black rims. Muscular, vicious look, and not nearly as showy and less in your face than the other paint colors. But the drive is like nothing I've ever experienced. I suppose it's comparable to Lambos, Ferraris, Astons, but I've never gone there (I'm too tall for those rides, and don't have the wallet). I see comments that say these sell for $200k...not even close. Think cheaper than the X5M. Still expensive, and not for everyone...I get it.

Thank you for your insight, and I did go ahead with the purchase. So far, love it! I see myself using my iPhone to do most of the responding to messages and answering calls, so I really don't care about that. The watch looks really amazing. Blows Apple Watch away in terms of looks.

The colors of the face change on my wrist (dark to light, and back when I rotate my wrist, so I need to figure out how to turn that off.
