We're expecting!
 

Today is finally the day I go to pick up our new 2013 X5 xDrive 5.0i with M Sport, M Performance, Premium sound, Prem 2, Tech, Cold Weather and a few other options. It's Carbon Black.

We're moving from an Acura MDX that has been problem free since the very beginning so we'll be somewhat sad to see it go but it's time for some BMW freshness.

I found this forum during my research of the X5 and signed up for the Premier Membership to support the cause.

I can't wait to pick up our new ride!

Enjoy! I picked up my 35i M-Sport last week. Huge improvement over my 04 4.4, though the turbo engine misses the grunt that you will enjoy in the 50. I also got Carbon Black. Awesome color, but man, it shows dirt, so you need to keep that sucker clean!

Post some pics! I need to get mine cleaned before I get some pics--we've had crazy rain here since I picked up the beast.

Good luck!

Congrats! Carbon black looks great.:thumbup:

Let the fun begin!

I just picked up this past weekend my AW 35i M Power. Man I tell you after owning jet black and sapphire black, I can tell you AW is the easiest to show any sort of dirt. Looks amazing though.

You'll be alternating trips every other day between the car wash and the gas station but you will be smiling the whole way.

AW shows dirt easily? The only dirt I typically see is on the clear/dark windows rather than the white body itself. Especially after landscapers are done with their leaf blowers tossing all kinds of crap into the air. :(

No, white is the easiest to keep clean.

Yes, any sort of dust is right away visible on AW. I used my back wipers when it was drizzling out yesterday, park the car and the back is blackened from the liquid dripped from the blade. On black you wont see minor dirt like that.

After this one, going back to black. I guess they were right when they say once you go black, you never go back. :yikes:

After two black, said no more. Look great when washed but I'm not too
regular with it. On Whites, easier than black but showed more dirt then I
would have thought. Had a white vette, and it really showed the dark
road debris, and if hit some oil or tar = mess. I've had the best luck with Red,
Biege/Silver and Gold. Really want some upkeep go with white interior.
