Its been almost 10days with no news, pictures, etc... I'm surprised we haven't seen any information regarding the option prices and/or upcoming reviews.

I'm currently up in the air on participating in the M event in Salzburg, Austria. Given that US customers won't be part of the euro delivery, I'm not sure if its really worth the cost.

What do you think?

What a beast! I can't wait till our dealer takes delivery of one. I think the owner has a black on black X6m on reserve for himself. (he always demo's the best cars we have)

Great pictures! That blue is really growing on me. Any news on which silver they will use for the four special colors? Personally, I can't decide between gun metal grey, Alpine white, Monte Carlo blue, the new silver or new black. Most likely, it will be grey or white since the blue and black will be trashed with rock nicks given the high amount of highway driving I do.

The silver is supposed to M-exclusive silverstone as shown below. Other than 4 M-exclusive colors we will have the black and white.

The color and look is growing on me as well. If I get one it will for sure be in one of the exclusive "M" colors.

Can't wait to see it in person and read/see vidz on it compared to the others out there... especially the ML63 and Pepper. Hmm. When will the horsepower wars stop? LOL. When these beasts do 0-100km in under 4 sec and get 5 mpg? LOL. Love it.

I'm not a fan of silverstone, so guess it may have to be white or blue. I wish they would offer the steel grey as the 4.8is always looked great in grey.
Black would be great, however after all the wear and tear my 4.8is has seen with black, I'm sure the front of the ///M would get trashed in that color. Plus I think black will hide the front bumpers body lines too much (similar issue with my 4.8is).

Grey in 4.8is is nice but was not offered in US though.
Just get the 3M film for the front.

yeah that always bothered me that grey was never offered here.
Personally, I've always hated the look of clear bras, however, I might have a change of heart with the X5 ///M.

Any idea when option pricing will be released or when dealers will start to receive additional information?

I've had a 3M clear bra for 8 years on my black e53--you can't even notice it's on there. I can't imagine all of the rock chips without it. It's a no brainer for me when I move to the e70.
