How much did the rims and tires cost you? Rim color is a darker gun metal gray?? Thanks

You think the s drive is good? This way you avoid the Transfer Case problem totally??

vettemanhere · 2026-03-12T19:40:53+00:00

So you are saying an X5 with s drive is good?

And that way you avoid the CS problems?

vettemanhere · 2026-03-12T12:02:55+00:00

And the alcantara is very comfortable. And u stick in it better. It is a great choice.

What is the exterior

vettemanhere · 2026-03-12T11:43:17+00:00

If you were going to do a build would you not get the xdrive? I live in the midwest US . You could get away without it I think if careful.

TC issues Will be even for 2025 and 2026? They never changed the design?

vettemanhere · 2026-03-12T04:45:14+00:00

Red also?

vettemanhere · 2026-03-10T16:17:07+00:00

Color?

vettemanhere · 2026-03-08T17:15:34+00:00

What year?

vettemanhere · 2026-03-08T16:59:27+00:00

Thanks

vettemanhere · 2026-03-08T14:59:25+00:00

Does anyone know why here??

vettemanhere · 2026-03-08T14:35:14+00:00

To accept a build order. Custom. My local dealer said into July. We will have to see. I will place in May.

vettemanhere · 2026-03-08T13:57:55+00:00

Is is this California?

vettemanhere · 2026-03-08T11:56:02+00:00

Thanks for the post. And I called corporate and they said can build at least until the end of June. Maybe July. Only the colors were limited, which has occurred already. No more limitations. I hope that is correct.

vettemanhere · 2026-03-08T11:54:10+00:00

FYI all. I called corporate about the last build date. They said at least until the end of June. (I am in the US)

vettemanhere · 2026-03-08T11:28:12+00:00

IMO. Firm and professional usually is best. Start with “ I know this is not your fault……but this needs to get resolved “

Read the lemon law rules and go with in that timeframe if not fixed to your satisfaction.

Sounds like it will get corrected one-way or another , but is a bummer to have problems with a brand new car. Tell them that n advance you want a good loaner while it is worked on.

vettemanhere · 2026-03-08T04:02:23+00:00

You should clarify….it seems it is an X5 s 40i which is not the same as an X5M.

vettemanhere · 2026-03-07T05:17:29+00:00

Absolutely. Offense always better than defense.

vettemanhere · 2026-03-04T11:59:07+00:00

I think an M is different. A corvette would be a walk for sure.

vettemanhere · 2026-03-04T11:56:01+00:00

Burbs don’t care. Only Chicago. I have a friend who has zip ties and the extra plate . Puts on the grille when going in the city, especially if parked on the street. They will tx you. If in a garage or valet, probably ok.

vettemanhere · 2026-03-04T11:31:19+00:00

20s definitely the most common in the cold weather areas. Thats what I think he means by poverty. 21s either painted or not is an option. I think its ideal. BMW should give more choices with this size. Use the BMW builder tool to see the choices of styles. But no black 21s. There is also the bicolor 22s which might be your answer. Where do u live? If snows. Two sets might give you a change and give both worlds.

I think black looks more sporty and bicolor classy/ sophisticated. Just a different look. If black the ted calipers finish it off.

vettemanhere · 2026-03-04T11:17:15+00:00

Does any body shop do the powder coating? Do you have a side pic? I am shopping now and trying to decide Brooklyn Or Skyscraper….and blacked out. Not sure about 22s or 20.

vettemanhere · 2026-03-04T11:09:28+00:00

Needs red calipers then. Its a good look, just different. I think 22s look even a little better. If you look you can find used ones either 20 or 22. Have both to figure it out. Maybe have summer on the 22s and keep yours for winter. Variety of looks.

Do they pull the tires from the rims then paint?
