Love your ride though, its beautiful, I think I'm leaning towrds Silverstone or silver gray on black with the aluminum trim. Was thinking of the carbon leather though but it does look dark, Worried a little that the aluminum trim might scratch easy or get too hot in the sun possibly burn the kids arms or something.

thanks for the posts though, In Seattle area the dealers here still dont have one in and are still ablout a month out so very interested in getting perceptions before placing the order.
I'll be filling her up later today, so I'll report back.. fingers crossed for double digits

I test drove a silverstone ///X5 before I bought mine. It's a nice color combo with the rims - looks better in person than in pics. Another good color IMO is space gray.. My wife's 335xi is SG and it's very rich looking.

My wife's car has the full aluminum trim package - it gets very hot and it scratches easily. The latter is why I chose to go with the carbon leather.. seems much more resistant to damage.

I just spent 2 hours giving mine a bath and a bunch of polish.. Now time to go drive around.

Good luck with your decision.. LMK if I can help further.

Chris
