I like it a lot. My neighbor has a X5M in Tanzanite and it's beautiful.

I am still kicking the ‘24 Cayenne can down the road. I seriously have built countless examples since the configurator launched. This is my most recent build.
https://configurator.porsche.com/en-...ariants=YDF_AC San Marino is N/C for the X5/X6/X7 M60i. It is a standard color. No $5000-5500 individual paint up-charge. Edit, My brother initially had Skyscraper Grey ordered for his new X7 and later switched to San Marino. Then as previously mentioned he recently went with an individual color, a rare grey that was formerly offered on previous BMW models, including the Z8. Edit 2: Opps… I meant Marina Bay Blue, it is similar to San Marino Blue. Last edited by SCA; 04-28-2023 at 12:28 PM. |

Other than the wheels it looks like you’ve pared it back to the essentials (of what you’d expect in a car in this price range). Doubt you’d be able to get it lower without regretting it later Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Those Sport Design wheels are new for 2024. I like them considerably, but I am on the fence about the cost as well as the size. |

I think I'd do the 21" RS Spyder design in Neodyme

Sounds like you really like them. If it “makes” the car for you, it’s probably worth just getting them. Worst case you can always buy another set of wheels later if you don’t like the ride quality |

I like those too… the design as well as the color, but I generally lean towards wheels with some bright work. I would be highly inclined to put some Neodyme wheels on a 992.

If San Marino is free, I’d take it!
There were two colors that made me consider individual paint for the F80: Imola and Dan Marino. |

Maybe BMW realizes they need really good colors to counter the work of their styling department |
