mine came with the normal black, i put this silver trim that matches the running board, grill, and wheels |
In the SF Bay area not so much, but in the more rural areas of the Coast of California and the deserts, yes. I was laughing because I have an entirely different perspective of what I consider "off roading." I drive an 80 series Landcruiser (getting an X5 for my wife to replace her 525i), which is what I consider a real truck. The X5 is a nice vehicle for what it is, just not an off road vehicle. BTW, I don't consider the new Jeep SRT, Mercedes Benz ML, or MDX to be off road vehicles either. It's the compromise you choose. My LC can go places an X5 would never think of, but an X5 will run circles around it on the street and is much better at 80mph+ cruising.
Here is a picture of an 80 doing what I call off roading.
