Pearl Bliss * Delivered *

[Epacy]

This car actually replaced "Pearl Bliss", my Maxima. It's been a very long journey as the car was actually ordered in Feb. The new build cycle, CARB issues and the disgusting seat module campaign all made this delivery less than it could be.

Nonetheless, the X5 visually surprised me in a couple of areas.
The Cinn Brown leather is probably 3 shades darker that I had anticipated after seeing saddle brown. It's not a negative, just a different look. Leather feels great too.
The AW looks great and will look even better once I get some tint on that biotch!
Style 335 rims impressed even more in person. The 19's didn't come out too small and they look more aggressive in person. I do like the looks of the 336's, but the cost of 315 rear tires, added weight and them only coming with summer tires turned me off.
Top View and all the electronics are cool. Glad I got all those toys!
The lack of LED and refreshed headlights the rest of the world gets is a final downer.
Will be de-badging, tinting and clear bra'ing post haste.

Can't say I'm a fan of the xDrive badges on the sides of the car either. We pay this much for a car and we have to wear advertising too?

grats - nice last pic.

Congrats. Looks like a neighbor in pic #4 is watching behind a tree ha.

BTW---let us know how the clear bra goes. I'm curious as to how well it fits on the lower front bumper with the angles and ridges (if it doesn't sit perfectly flush).

Congrats on the new ride. Very nice.

Very nice! I actually love the seat color with the white exterior. Now go hardwire that radar detector.

Just curious do you regret not getting the m-sports package.

M-sport is not available with the diesel. I wouldn't have gotten it anyway as it does not fix the issues I listed. Plus at $6500, I find it to be too expensive for what you get.
