Picked up the SQ5 this afternoon
Just picked up the new sled! Premium+, estoril blue, black/chestnut leather, wood/aluminum trim, 21s, MMI/nav, B&O, side assist. Moving over from an '11 E92 M3, but feeling like this is going to be a solid performance/practicality compromise.
Will share better pix soon when I have the SLR and some decent daylight.

High maintenance, making one fear every bird bomb, automated car wash, etc? Yes, yes, yes!
But hey, it's WORTH it!

Love it!!! The closest thing I was able to see was an S4 in that color before making the decision. Congrats on the new car, your the first Estoril Blue SQ5 I've seen on this forum besides my own. That color is so sharp, however visible dust builds up pretty easily. But of course, we have no regrets and you won't either.

Congrats! EBC is beautiful. I also went from M3 (2011 E90) to SQ5 and while its not as fast, it's still stoopid speedy. I needed something to haul my mountain bikes and take me up skiing so I made the compromise and I have no regrets. A Macan was the only other reasonable option but I was not about to drop $75-90k on an optioned porsche. Now I've put 20" Michelin PSS on for summer and the fun factor has definitely increased.
Enjoy your SQ5!
