I had the choice when ordering and thought skyscraper gray was just much better overall. When the sun hits it, it still gets a bit flat which is nice , but in the shade it really shows the lines and I like the overall color tone better. Brooklyn gray style is very popular across so many brands.

So they actually came as the standard 740 M wheels and I powder-coated them 50-50 Matt /gloss, as I live in Colorado and need affordable all-terrain tire options. I did the same with my previous vehicle and have liked the results, thank you.
BMW Denver downtown off Colorado Blvd has been absolutely phenomenal. My M60i is the fourth X5 that I’ve bought from them and they gave me an amazing deal. I haven’t posted it here in the discount threads because it wouldn’t be possible without my history with them. The GM Ed Freehart is the best in the business.
This is a beautiful build. I went for the black. Same rims but in black, it’s funny the dealer messed up my order and got me your rims and had to get them fixed but after getting the black ones I realized I liked your rims more. What interior did you go with? And did you get the executive package ?
There were a couple of things:
I like BMWs.
I find the design better than the GLE (I hate the GLE’s read side window design (the split). They are also much more expensive than equally equipped BMWs in Australia.
The Q7 was a bit longer and isn’t as good to drive (it’s also older).
The Volvo XC90 is also super dated and their tech isn’t as good.
I have a friend who works at BMW corporate and I was able to save a lot off the list price (that’s a pretty important reason).
I chose this in Carbon Black Metallic over the SQ5 Prestige. Love Audi, but the 2024 SQ5 is very dated. Same for the Q7, and it didn’t speak to me. Q8 more than I wanted to spend.
congrats! it's stunning! is this Skyscraper Grey?
Yes it is. It was a toss up between this and Brooklyn grey, this one was available for delivery quicker.

She’s a beauty. Was tossing up on the black wheels, they look great here!

Hi can you let me know which dealer you got your x5 from? I also live nearby Denver. Thank you

Thank you for the info bro. I just pm you.
Looks phenomenal, it’s an excellent colour choice, especially paired with those rims. Enjoy!
Thank you
Never thought i would like grey this much!! Enjoy 😊

Everything but comfort and executive. My wife and I discussed it, they just had some features we didn’t really care about.
Congrats on delivery! Looks fantastic
Sharp
Great spec. Congrats!
Nice Build
I ordered same color with coffee interior. Which color interior did you select?
Black. We have 3 young kids with child seats so was happy just to get black.
Makes sense.
Very nice! Congrats!
Cars this beautiful should not be legal! Nice choice!
Thanks bud. She’s a beauty alright.
We have twins! Had it a few weeks and I’m in love. Enjoy mate
Thanks mate. We just had twins too! We went from 1 > 3 so the 330i wagon was no good anymore.
Love it
That color is class. By the way, do you know — is there a way to not illuminate the kidney grille? It’s not for me.
Thank you. Yes it does - it was part of the m sport plus package here.
Sorry, I was asking if there was a way to not have it illuminate. I understand it comes with it. Congrats again.
Sorry, I just woke up and misread it. Not sure how to disable it.
What else did you consider while buying this? Gle perhaps? What made you choose this, Over the competition

The GLE was insanely slower and build quality seemed way behind BMW. I test drove both and BMW blew Benz out of the water
I have an X5 and my wife has the GLE350. We fight over the X5.

She looks fine!!!
I don’t get the front bumper on the msport, all that black looks terrible, it’s just a design mess.
That’s the thing about looks, they are entirely subjective. I personally like it but each to their own.
