I just took delivery of my X5 40i M Sport that I ordered. Here is what I have learned and hopefully with give you something to think about when ordering yours. Ordered 3/23/19. Took delivery 4/16/19
Here is what I ordered and what I would change.
X5 xdrive 40i, black sapphire, Beige leather - no change
The B58 engine is very smooth and enough power.. no need for the V8..except for the sound..V8 sounds great.
Very impressive mileage..on a road trip..got up to 29 mpg..now I was driving very timid..break in period and all..ended up overall at around 27.2 mpg...so unbelievable mileage..
Huge gas tank - so range is 500 miles plus.
M Sport package, premium tier (head up display) - no change
Parking assist, m sport brakes (these are great - must have)
space saver spare - great deal at $150 - no change
trailer hitch- wouldn't have gotten the vehicle without this option.
Harmon Kardon..okay this is where is gets tricky. The sound make me think of what the standard stereo should sound like. Not much of an upgrade - so you may want to consider the BW upgrade - but a bit pricey..however not sure you can go aftermarket for that price that will integrate with BMW's ecosystem. Something to consider.
Okay this is where the changes if I were to do again..
First I would order the Laserlights - looks way to cool not to.
Second...not sure I would order the Driving Assist Prof Package (DAPP) again. It seems that this is a work in progress. If BMW would commit to upgrading via OTA software updates..then okay..but haven't seen much on the this. So I will be hoping. But for now, still in beta form if you ask me.
Third I would go and sit in the multi - contour seats - the standard seats in the M Sport package..to me..are a bit hard. May even consider getting the Luxury Seating package instead of the DAPP.
If you don't get the DAPP then I would consider getting the active cruise control.
In saying all of this..the X5 is a road trip machine..very quiet and comfortable. Great SUV...I mean SAV....
Hope this helps!
