We took delivery of this guy a few weeks back after a nearly year long search. After a few weeks of ownership I have no reservations in saying it's probably the best all around vehicle I've ever driven, let alone owned. Perfect combo of power, features, utility, drivability, driving enjoyment, etc.
Here's the factory specs -
2012 X5 xDrive50i - 29K miles, CPO until 9/2017
Alpine White/Cinnamon/Bamboo
M Sport w/ 20's
Premium
Cold Weather
Active Steering
Multi-Contour Seats
3rd Row Seats
BMW Apps
I typically leave my vehicles fairly close to stock - only changes so far are a new X5M tri-stitch/paddle shift steering wheel and iND painted front reflectors. Onto the mediocre iPhone pics…
Coming off the transport (had to shipped from CA to WA where I live)
Front plate removed and painted front reflectors installed. Reflectors are not a perfect match due to a previously installed clear bra that appears to have some fade to it.
The Cinnamon interior was a major selling point for me, and a rare find when combined w/ the other packages/options on this one
Non M's didn't get paddles until late 2012 builds (October 2011) with either Sport or M Sport. This X5 was built in June 2011 so no paddles…fortunately I found this wheel for sale on the forums. The M wheel includes upgraded paddles over the M Sport/Sport paddles & tri-stitching instead of black. It was a lucky find - for whatever reason you can't buy the X5M wheels anywhere as a package like you can the E46 M3/ZHP wheels, which are everywhere, new or used
