My new Titanium 50i arrived. Love it.
Loved it for awhile, then tired of the rough handling. Power was great, but lost on me as I really only drive the X in the rain, snow and/or with the family on-board. I was considering a brand change, then drove the 50i with Adaptive Drive. Loved it... Much, much better ride IMO in both comfort and sport mode than my ///M, so I ordered this M sport/M Performance version. 8 speed trans is a nice improvement, as-are the comfort seats. No cheapo 'carbon leather' option, so I went bamboo. I'll post pics of the interior later. The BMW cross rails are adequate, but whistle above 70mph. For me, not a big deal as they will be on the X maybe two times a year. So far, I love it. I don't love the dealer hack trailer hitch install, but it's nice to have a hitch again.

I've been trying to keep it under 4500 rpms so I haven't really had fun with the power yet.

Nice combination! Black/bamboo interior?
I see you opted for the performance pack. Never hurts to have a few extra HP. The M sport exhaust has a nice rumble, particularly in the mid range. Enjoy

Can't blame you on the hitch.
Nice to have, but what an awful job ! BTW: I have the same hitch, with the same wide cut in the bumper to accomodate a hitch much smaller than the opening.  And I also have the Comfort Seat, best option so far for me !

Yes, black/bamboo interior. I like it. Also like the sound. Deeper than my former ///M.
Re the hitch cutout - my dealer will be correcting the / cut on the pass-side. That said, the fault is completely with BMW. Their unwillingness/inability to engineer an elegant hitch solution for the X5 is laughable.

A symmetrical cut for the hitch will look better. Would be nice if the cutout was limited to the black baffle, but agree that would require some more elegant engineering.
