Fineline Oak Wood vs Fineline Pure Textured Wood
Our new '16 X5 diesel mSport was delivered last week and I'm absolutely loving the exterior and interior choices on this one (vs our prior '14 X5 diesel xLine).
This time we chose the Fineline Oak Wood Trim which looks stunning next to the Mocha Nappa leather, the piano black passenger side dash area and leather dashboard. Our 2014 xLine had the Fineline Pure Textured Wood trim and after 2.5 years it has been chipped, scratched and gives everyone who rides in the truck the impression of plastic trim. The Ceramic Controls addition on the 2016 makes the drivers cockpit look a lot more professional and high-end. Both of my X5's have had DHP so I haven't noticed any suspension differences between the mSport and the xLine, but the mSport's transmission is a lot better (and seems faster 0-60mph). Details of this new 2016 X5 xDrive35d with pics attached: M Sport Space Gray Metallic Mocha Nappa Interior Design Package Fineline Oak Wood Trim Ceramic Controls Driver Assistance Package (HUD, Rear View Camera) Surround View Cold Weather Package Premium Package Dynamic Handling Package Multi-Contour Seats Space-saver Spare Harman Kardon Sound System (2016 version sounds better than 2014 - how can that be?)

I drive 18,000 miles/year, of which 95% is on the freeway/interstate and mostly during the day; never even considered LED headlights as the lamps on my 2014 X5 work just great. What advantage in LED lamps do you see?
Also got 19" shoes to put my existing set of rubber on (Nokian Hakkapeliitta R2); I have a separate set of aftermarket 21" wheels/tires with Conti DWS rubber. |

Congrats on the fine looking vehicle.
I do a lot of driving on less than lit roads at night on some trips. I've done the recoding to LED lights to get the glare-free high beams and it's a world of difference. However from day-to-day use, it's not really that important. |
