Platinum Grey Metallic D Sport

Long story short, after a lemon'd M3 back in March, I picked up a new one in Munich last month and I am currently waiting delivery. In any case, we took the plant tour (twice) with my wife, and she was super impressed with how the cars are built. The day we got back I lured her into our local BMW dealership and we traded in the Lexus RX350 for this X5 diesel. She has never been a fan of BMWs, but I think the X5 will change her mind about them (except for putting gas which she hates as diesel pumps are always dirty, so I have taken on that role hehehehe)

I will get some better pics this week after the sealant and clear bra were applied last week.

(switched to the smaller wheels when we took it on a quick road trip last weekend)

Did you switch for a specific reason? I'm guessing smaller wheels ride better? What interior color did you go with?
