wow thanks for posting those pics!!!! definitely will not regret this decision! Funny thing is i did the same thing with my E46 m3. I had originally ordered Carbon Black on Imola then switched to Silver Gray. Now thinking about it, i wish i did alpine white on imola it would have been super rare

I prefer the extended to the full when theres red or any color for that matter. Even on an M3.

I'd LOVE to drive an X5M in Germany. Can't think of a better car to have there. I however would need one hell of a salary for the gas. That can't get good mileage at 240 km/h

To the OP: Nice upgrade!

My former Cayenne Turbo S "ate" around 36 l / 100 km at Vmax (aprox. 280 kph). I suppose that the X5 M with M Driver's Package (Vmax raised to 275 kph) I ordered will eat up at least 30 liters at that speed.

Lets do the math:

100 km = 62 mph
30 l = 7,93 gal

Result: I get at Vmax aprox. 7,82 mpg if I'm right. Ouch.

Another interesting fact: one liter of 98 octane (aprox. 95 octane US) fuel costs over here ~ 1.45 EUR or 2,04 USD.

Meaning: one GALLON of premium fuel costs in Germany...hold your breath...7,72 USD.
Do you guys still want to complaint about high fuel prices in the US ?!

I will never complain again. Although, I don't pay for my gas

I really like those HRE wheels. Does anyone know if they come in a gray (titanium)? I prefer that over the silver for a black X5M.

Haha already ordered them in 22"...not cheap. But HRE wheels you can order in basically any color you want.

Just an FYI: 98-99 RON fuel in Europe is equivalent to our 93-94 AKI fuel. In other words, "SuperPlus" is roughly equivalent to our "Super."

And yes, we still have it really, really good. Other than the fuel price spikes a few years ago, that is!

Color is one of the biggest choices when ordering a new vehicle - I bought 2 08's and 1 09 in Alpine White and give it a big thumbs up. I believe that BMW's white is one of the sharpest on the road today, great choice and no apologies are necessary.

That is full leather in picture...Look at the top of the doors above the carbon leather trim, it is the same nappa that is in my car.
