My S.O had a car accident at the beginning for Feb, and the insurance wrote that car off. After many test drives, we narrowed down the choice to three models. F15 X5 Xd50i, Mercedes GLE 250d 4Matic, Jeep Grand Cherokee 3.6 Limited. After much agonizing, we settled on a replacement... the F15 X5 Xdrive 50i 
I didn't grab any photos off the dealer website before they took the car down, so these will have to do for now. It's very well spec'd with some highlights being:
* Bang and Olufsen Sound
* Surround view
* Park assist
* Exclusive Nappa Mokka (NAMY)
* Fineline Pure textured wood
* Interior and Exterior Design Pure Experience
* Adaptive suspension pack 'Professional'
* Comfort seats with memory
* Pano roof
* 3rd row searing
* Ambient lighting
* Soft close doors
* HUD
* Adaptive LED headlights
* Individual Exterior Line - Burnished Aluminium
He/She (haven't decided yet) is currently wrapped in matte silver, which looks awesome, and all the chrome has been blacked out (apart from the kidney surrounds). Underneath the paint colour is mineral silver metallic A14.
On the second test drive, I took my Surface Pro along and hooked the car up to ISTA+ for a full diagnostic, fully expecting the control unit tree to be lit up lit up like Christmas lights. To my joy, there were only 2 errors, and both had to do with the battery needing replacement.
The car is currently being prepped and serviced, and I'll collect it after returning from a business trip next week. Right now I have to go and move our garage shelving around to make sure the 5-er and the 6-er fit side-by-side.
