I'm hoping for an improvement in all of the things listed above except that I am not sure that the carbon ceramic brakes will be worth it. I went with a new ML63 after two X5's because I could get...

I voted for something else. Having had a first year M3 and X5, I now avoid first year BMWs. The little issues require you to go in and they don't seem to sort out the options until the second year.

I'd be all over this in a X5 version. I thought about a X5M when our 4.8 lease was up but couldn't live with the mileage (~12 mpg with the 4.8) and so got a 3.5d. Our lease is up next November and a...

+1 on avoiding the metal caps with BMW logos. Snapped off a stem. Didn't use anti-seize but in the end was not worth the aggravation.

When my 4.8 lease was up last year (2 year lease), I went with the diesel. One year later absolutely no regrets. The torque is great and only over 75 mph do I feel the difference in HP. The gas...

I don't think the display changes to night mode automatically - I've tried each of the different modes without success. I too programmed one of the preset buttons to switch modes.
