Question on 2015s
LeMans,
It is presently not possible to configure a 2014 X5 M-Sport with the Dynamic Handling package AND the 3rd row seat like it was on the 2012-2013s. However, you CAN configure a Luxury line...

The M-Sport looks good
The 35d looks very plain but the 50i M-Sport (palbay pics) looks pretty good to me. Big uptick over the base 35d.
Maybe the chrome roof rails, maybe the better rims, but it just looks more...

My take
Firstly, thanks to LeMans for the photos.
Front looks better than feared. I am also partial to chrome kidney grills so that may be influencing my view.
Back worse than feared. The back looks...

AD is single best option on X5
You never feel the AD "engage" or "kick-in", it is always on, always dampening the road.
When you push the "sport" button then everything tightens up a little more. You will feel a little more of...

What color wood in that interior shot?
Richard in NC,
What color wood is that in your interior photo? Is that the "light poplar" or the "dark burl walnut" wood? It looks fantastic, as does your whole interior. Beautiful with the M-Wheel...

Yes 2013 is same body shape as 2012.
New body style, code number F15 I think, is rumored to be due sometime in 2013 as a 2014MY.
So if you were to order a 2013 right now (35i and 50i are 2013s while the 35d is still a 2012 until...

Based on that set of rules it doesn't look good
"248 cannot be ordered with ZMP"
248 = Heated Steering Wheel
ZMP = M-Sport Package
Probably why BMW charges $600 instead of the normal $750 for the Cold Weather Package when you also order the...

Thank you all for the quick replies
Thank you guys. Great info. Very informative.
Seems like a move from 19" to 20" is about a 0.7% increase in revs per mile (19" OEM tires are 716 revs/mile and 20" OEM tires are 721 revs/mile).
