New addition :)

Went to pickup the new toy from Des Moines back home to Minneapolis.
We had just 4 inches of snow the day before with a high of 25 degrees, so I wasn't crazy driving a car on summer performance tires but it turned out to be easy. It even made it up our driveway!

Am a sucker for light interiors and think BMW has done a great job of the leather patterns/stitching. Getting a bit of a Bentley vibe

I haven't had a chance to try much but the car feels strong. B&W sounds great, not sure about the exhaust.
Guess I am spoiled by the AMG exhausts...

Here are a couple quick pics. Very happy so far. Excuse the messy garage.

Happy New Year!

Beautiful car. Congratulations!

Driving on summer tires during the winter isn't always recommended. Glad you made it home without adventures.

It's actually one of their launch models. We normally special order cars but this was an opportunity for a great year-end deal but I would have picked the same interior and like Sapphire Black (had that on our last 750).

Agreed! I asked them to put on Sottozero tires before pickup but they didn't have them in stock and couldn't get them in time for pickup.

I almost picked one couple months ago. Exactly the same exterior and interior.
Having 2 kids really made me think and I decided with X6M

Congrats it's a beautiful car

Perfect way to jump into new year

Good move on the X6M! The rear seats are in fact unusable for anything other than storage.
Unless driver and passengers are 5’4” maybe. My wife is 6” tall and the backrest almost touches the rear seat pillow.

But no kids here so this is a perfect setup...

Pirelli Sottozero winter tires just work. I had these tires on my previous 335i xDrive. Never failed to impress me with non stop traction.

It's Sapphire Black with Ivory White/Tartufo interior and both are standard options to order (or find one existing at a dealer).
