Just picked up a 2015 SQ5 in Sepang Blue last night. Now January in Canada is not an ideal time to pick up a new vehicle, but a SQ5 with Quattro certainly beats the BMW M5 I was driving for winter fun!

Had it tinted and put BBS SR 19" wheels with Pirelli Scorpion Winters to get me through till the Spring. I just got the 20" wheel package because the roads around me are generally atrocious. Unfortunately they came with the apparently mediocre Goodyear Excellence tires rather than the better-reviewed Michelin Latitude Sports, but I'll just have to burn through them so I can get something a little sportier (PSS?)!

As I was switching the summers out for winters, I cleaned up the brake calipers and applied a couple of coats of wax/sealant (1 x Klasse AIO, 1 x Menzerna Powerlock). I also gave the interior a wipe down, but I'm going to need to do some light paint correction come Spring thanks to the DISO (dealer-installed swirl option)...a common affliction of dealership-washed vehicles, particularly in the winter when they do an even more half-a**ed job!

It is the twin to my car, even have the same winter wheels, but in 18's. The only difference I spot is the badging on the side. V6T vs Supercharged.

Cool! I was looking for other Q5/SQ5 with the BBS SR wheels but couldn't find any before I ordered from tire rack...I think they look great, good choice!

Yeah, swapping out the V6T for Supercharged badges is definitely on the list of things to do come spring!

How long have you had your SQ for? Happy with it? I'm on day 2, and it is pretty solid so far (though I'm coming down from a 560 hp BMW M5 with manual tranny, so I'm trying hard not to compare the two).

I am on month 3 so not too far ahead of you. I am going to be dropping it in the next couple of weeks with KW springs and also have some sways on order. I think those changes will make it perfect.
