It is in my driveway - 2013 X5d Deep Sea Blue

A few interesting 0.5-day observations:

* The trunk area no longer has rails with sliding latches (just 4 latches in the corner), and no more side elastic bands.

* The door pockets no longer have rubber linings

.... bean counters at work....

* The HUD is not as good as it is on 2013 335 - a bit outdated I'd say, and you can't tilt (left/right) the projection

* First mod - performance black grills

Thanks to Frank C @ JMK for excellent service, ordering and delivery. 12 business days fron signing to pickup.

Looks awesome! Congrats. I am always jealous when I see the sport package steering wheels.

My prev was also 3.5d.

The one before that, which I last drove in July 2010, was a bit more powerful, but not significantly different. So if you want to switch from 4.8 to 3.5d, you are likely to like it. Go for test drive!

Great color! Hopefully will be available on the F15 as I'm going for it with my next X5 diesel in a couple of years... Enjoy.
