I'll update this thread once break in is done and I can really drive it like i normally would but right now I am loving this thing.

Interior Space
Size wise its not that different. The X5M has a bit more headroom and slightly wider but overall we don't feel cramped in the M5 one bit. Same with the trunk. I can still fit the usual multiple lawn chairs for my kids sporting events just like did before. The M5 is a BIG car so not surprised here. The one thing the M5 lacks in comparison is storage space. The center console is small, the door pockets are about half the size that was in the X5M. No back seat storage pocket or in the rear seat armrest.

Interior Quality
I'll start by saying my X5M was fully loaded with full leather so that is what i'm rating the M5 against so its no surprise that there are short comings in the M5. The leather doesn't seem as good quality, no leather on the dash or upper/lower door panels. Use of more cheap plastics here and there. No soft close doors. Overall the only thing that bugs me the most is the cheap cover where the side mirrors are, B pillar plastic and the lack of soft close doors. Not having rear door comfort access didn't bother as much as I thought since I have it set that [...]

That’s a Beauty !!
Love the color .
