Since you have a nice build going, you might want the leather dashboard...it goes a long way to lux up the cabin.

Nice build! I live and work in Palo Alto, too. Can't wait to see it on the road.

Great Videos on Youtube, I watched your delivery video and all your exhaust videos and loved it! I was the one that commented about the little M logos on your car, on Youtube. Can't wait to watch more videos!

P.S. Great Photos on Flickr

Haha nice! I just recorded another exhaust video with my M performance exhaust installed but the video is to dark and it was only for myself to see how it sounded from the outside. I will record a good one this weekend and post it on youtube

Although pricey.. I would highly recommend MPPK and MPE.

Soft close automatic doors...i have them on my M Sport...NEVER use them. Makes no sense..who sits there and gingerly closes the doors to allow the soft close mechanism to kick in? I would delete..

I don't have them, either. But after training my kids to not slam doors... I wish I would have gotten them as the X5 doors are heavier than my Acura's and they sometimes don't get them shut all the way.

It's more for times when the doors aren't shut hard enough, which is when the soft close mechanism kicks in. It's also pretty useful if you have sleeping kids you don't want to wake up.

I skipped the option because of reports of doors spontaneously opening......
