Arctic Grey 40i

Took delivery today. Hardly had a chance to drive it, and have a major issue with connectivity. BMW Assist / connected drive not working since it doesn't seem to have been activated correctly.

However, absolutely love the way it looks in AG, and the interior is a very nice place to be, light years ahead of the Tesla. Couple of pics. Getting ceramic coating done tomorrow, so will add some better pics later.

What color interior and what did you get for options

Black Merino. Premium excellence package (Canadian), so essentially all available options except B&W sound. Air suspension and m-sport.

Winter wheel package?

Yes. Kind of feel like it's a rip off at $6,800 CAD plus tax, but prefer the look to the non-BMW packages I could find locally.

MystroX5 · 01-09-2019, 09:08 PM

Looks great. Winter wheels look great as well.

TurtleBoy · 01-09-2019, 09:25 PM

Congrats on the new vehicle! Good luck and drive safely.

Just the typical Canadian apology...

Haha.

Great looking car, though.

Get service at BMW Toronto to take a look at your connected drive issues. They'll have to open a puma case. I have an appointment for next week that I don't need (was able to fix my issues at Parkview), so you can have my slot. PM me if you want details.

Thanks for the offer. I'm hopeful that they will fix it remotely and that it will be working when I get the car back from the detailer. If not, I will definitely PM you.

aspiring335 · 01-10-2019, 09:45 PM

Good news. Connectivity issues have resolved themselves and now all the BMW Assist functionality and Apple CarPlay are working fine.

Ceramic coat is done. Detailer said it was the worst new car prep he had ever seen in terms of swirls and scratches. Looks fantastic now, so I'll try and take some proper pics in daylight.

stein_325i · 01-11-2019, 04:58 PM

Congrats on the new X5! AG looks great with all those black accents, are you planning on blacking out the kidneys?

Not sure yet. It's definitely a possibility though. I hadn't seen AG in person and am really happy with the look. It has blue element to it, which sets it apart from other greys.

Congrats on the new X5! Did you apply Ceramic Pro coat? I am planning to have it done on my one week old X5 next week.
