2016 X5 Luxury Line Dark Graphite Terra Dakota

eptrail · 03-06-2016, 01:11 PM

My Colorado dealer found the options I wanted in Boise on their showroom floor. It took a weekend to ship across the divide. I did a great deal of research on these forums before I made my final decision. Happy to answer any questions.

Dark Graphite Metallic
Terra Dakota Leather
Fineline Purewood Trim
Cold Weather Package
Driver Assistance Plus Package
19" Light alloy V-Spoke wheels style 450-with all-season run-flat tires
Premium Package
Aluminum running boards
Parking Assistant
Surround View
Multi-contour seats
Harman Kardon surround sound system

The only option I wasn't able to get was the Lighting Package. I've only had the car a few days, so I can't say I miss it yet. However, I live at 8,000 feet in the Rockies and I relied heavily on the automatic high beams and adoptive lighting in my previous 2014 X6. The all seasons came off and were replaced with Blizzaks the next morning. All seasons are a joke when you play too close to the tundra.

Very nice. Enjoy the ride. You can code vld and auto HBA (I think on HBA). I wanted the LED headlight as well but wasn't available at the time. HID in the city/urban setting is perfectly fine with me.

Congrats on the ride. I wanted the same combination of dark graphite+terra but i ended up with the mocha in the end. Never considered upgrading the wheels?

I considered it, but I just dropped $2,500 on new Blizzaks tires last fall and wanted to use these tires on my new X5.

I ran the new Blizzard DMV2's on 20 inch rims this winter, they worked good for 20's.

It's odd to me that they switched the lux line and base line wheels for this model year.
