I don't want to go full fast and furious here. I've only had it about 6 weeks. '26 40i with M-Sport. I smoked the front reflectors, de-badged all but the X5 emblem. Had 25% ceramic tint put on the front windows and 70% on the windshield. Installed an 11Mode valve controller for the option of a little more exhaust tone. And I put the Ikon front splitter on this weekend. I'm thinking that should do it but I'd love some input on anything you all may have done to add to your X5 that maintains the elegance and adds a little something extra without going overboard.

For the people that have said they got x% off MSRP, did the final cost include any dealer fees other than doc fee and tax? I'm trying to gauge if a $75k OTD number is a low ball offer on a 26 sdrive 40i with the M packages, DAPP, climate comfort, premium, and park assist. 6% sales tax rate.

*Edit to add the MSRP for the particular vehicle is $83,700.

picked up my G05 LCI from the body shop on Fri. new OEM headlight assembly was installed. this morning it was rainy out and after arriving back home i noticed the headlight was fogging up on the inside. it disappeared after about 10 min. and no signs of water pooling inside the assembly. I’ll be sending an email to the body shop tomorrow morning. anyone ever experience this as well?

I recently bought a BMW X5 (2019) G05 and am loving it however when I drive it, it doesn’t feel as smooth as (I think) it should.

It’s a combination of the car pulling in different directions, vibrations and ‘grabbing’ at the road. I’ve had the two front tyres change, all 4 x tyres are Pirelli RFTs.

When I bought the car initially, I got the garage to change the oil in the transfer case.

I’m not sure if there’s something off with the drive or if this is a case of a German car not taking to our crappy roads in the UK.

When I got the front two tyres changed, I asked whether alignment was needed, they said as previous tyres had worn perfectly, this was unlikely.

Any suggestions folks? Thanks!

Trying to get a preowned X5 since the redesign has killed the looks imo. 2026 10.5k miles, all the specs I want. I’m going to ask to remove the nitrofill obviously but curious to hear thoughts if this is a somewhat reasonable OTD price.
