NEED ADVICE ON A NEW X-5 M60i PURCHASE

[Chuck XX]

Iam seeking Advice/Wisdom on the PRO'S & CON'S you have found on owning a X-5 M60i. I have not ordered it yet but plan on doing so before they close the 2026 ordering window. I hate the new front end on the 2027 model. Also do you think its worth it to spend the "extra money" for the Upgraded stereo system?? I have it that they make you take the huge Panorama Glass Roof which I absolutely hate. Hope to hear from owners and will apply with great appreciation. I plan on ordering "All Black" including the black wheels-22".

I have no regrets in the 18 months I have owned my X5 M60i. Only regret I have is that I did not get the PPF done as soon as I took delivery and went on a trip to Charleston from Charlotte the week after I got it. Ended up catching a rock on the hood, making PPF a moot issue. Check out the TuxMat interior protection though, it is great and looks very polished. I combined the TuxMat with Canvasback in the back area for full protection.

I love my 2026 M60i. I’ve had it since June. I got the Bowers & Wilkins Stereo, and I like it a lot. The Harmon Kardon in my previous X5 was kind of lifeless.
With the B&W, it is important to dial it in using the graphic equalizer. Basically you want a U-shape, where the lowest lows and highest highs are boosted.

There is an X5 section of these forums. Within the X5 section, drip- down into G05/G06, which is the current generation. If you poke around there, you should find a lot of discussion about the M60i and the stereo options, among other things.

Welcome to the forums.
