XX3: Any paint color not offered by BMW can be had on your X5...For the premium of $2,500...Ordinarily, I wouldn't have gone this route, but since the lease deals are so great right now, I figured 'what the hell' and I splurged for paint...This will look great next to my Imola/Black e39 M5

Quicksilver: You're right...A watched pot never boils. However, I have my first child (a daughter) scheduled to arrive on/about the 2nd/3rd week of May...I just wanted to make sure the X will arrive before then.

Asawadude: I live two miles from Bob Smith BMW...I ended up purchasing it through Pacific BMW. I had purchased a brand new 2001 X5 through Century West and will never do that again...It's just not a well-run dealership...It's a beautiful dealership, but a Greek-tragedy when it comes to ownership and operation; Pacific took pretty good care of me when I bought my 04 4.4 so I gave them the order again. I really wanted to purchase it through Bob Smith out of convenience and so that I can ensure a BMW loaner if I ever needed it, but in the end, I got everything you see for $659/month...Nothing down but drive off of $1500. As for the mods, the X will go from Pacific, to my house, which will be closer to 30 miles and THEN the mods will go on
