Nope, no word yet.. And I don't want to call the dealer and keep bothering him.. That's what you guys are for.. LOL..

He told me, up to 15 days in transport to Oxnard, then has to go through prep, then transport to dealer.

I would suspect it's going to be another week or so, AT THE LEAST.

Ya. Very nice indeed ... but those wheels. Argh ... what were they thinking?! With out doubt, the worst rims they have ever put on a M car. Sad really, because the wheels they put on the M5 and M3 are awesome.

Nice - very nice. Now you need to do away with the silver chrome kidneys and go dark chrome......love the white!

Cheers,

Cheers,

That's a good idea. I'll have to look around.

Oh boy, then I'll have to get some black wheels......

Looks amazing

Eh, probably not to most.. There are only a few car guys in my neighborhood - couple of P-cars, one e63 guy, and another Vette owner. Doubt anyone else know's what the X5M really is

Thanks

Thanks a bunch for the first driving impressions. If you have a few moments, can you expand on the different NON-paddle driving mode choices??
Is it Drive, Sport, Drive-M, and Sport-M?
Also: Is the 'M' mode referring to throttle response, or does it refer to both increased throttle response and tightening of the suspension?

Thanks and congrats!

Hi, sure..I've only got 100 miles on her, but this is my perception thus far:

M mode is a button on the steering wheel changes the throttle response, opens the exhaust up, and can enable or disable DSC (dynamic stability control), the M-mode specific heads up display (if optioned), and EDC (electronic dampening control) 'shocks' via your setup in the iDrive control panel.

• In effect, DSC is the handling nanny - it allows you to drive the X more aggressively eg sliding, etc. Chevy calls it active handling.
• EDC is dampning control - normal or sport mode for your suspension.

Transmission options:

• Standard 'Drive' - just like the E53 - plodding along - comfort mode.
• Sport mode - like the E53, holds gears a bit longer based on your personal driving. Will upshift at redline.
• Manual mode - shift manually - won't upshift for you.
• Paddle - shift manually - won't upshift for you.

At least that's how I understand things
