I can't wait to take delivery of my 2012 X5 50. Here are the specs

Carbon Black
Oyster
Dark Burl Walnut
M-Sport Package
Multi-Contour
Premium Package
Tech Package
Premium Sound Package
Space saver spare

My previous ride was a 2000 Ford Explorer XLT. What a HUGE upgrade this will be.

I will post pics and provide a review in about 4 weeks when I take delivery. My CA Eric in Mt. Laurel, NJ (15 miles from Philly) was great! He provided excellent advice and was very knowledgeable about all of the options.

Congrats on your order...BMW of Mt. Laurel is the best! I've been dealing with them for many years, when they were DeSimone BMW.

+1 on the 3M Clear Bra...I had my rockers and fender flares done...a must with the M Sport Package!

Thanks AwesomeM3! BMW of Mt. Laurel is a very impressive operation and I'm sure I will be dealing with them in the future as well.

I was wondering what parts to 3M and will take your advice on the rockers and fender flares. I am also going to consider doing the front bumper and maybe the front of the hood.

I have a 2010 M and M Sport.

My suggestion so the front of the car, the bumper, fender flares and at least the front of the hood.

Absolutely do the rockers, rear fender flares and the lower half of the rear doors. You can get away just doing the lower rear corner of the rear doors. I did that at first. But it looked kind of weird.

AwesomeM3,

Same question as Rez, where did you get your 3M Clear Bra applied? Do you have any suggestion in the Philly or South New Jersey area? I need to get this scheduled in the next week or 2.

Thanks!

Rez & Fiver,

Clear Choice Detailing, owner's name is Glen, very nice guy. Came out to my house, but you can have it done at his shop if you prefer. He's 3M certified and all he does is clear bra installs.

Thanks AwesomeM3! It is great that all he does is specialize in clear bras and is close to my house. This forum is the best!

I only had him clear bra the rockers and rear fender flares because BMW repainted them under warranty due to the stone chip issues. If I were to clear bra a brand new X5, I would do the front bumper and hood also.
