Thank you everybody for the kind words and warm welcome. Thanks for the advise motordavid, I am going to have the dealer "run my key" to see what TSB's or recalls need to be completed on my X5.

Nice looking X5 but the color looks more like Estoril Blue, which would have been a special order color so that would be cool. It's nice! Maybe it was the lighting when you took the pics.
I resisted the DRL's until my wife started driving the X5 and she wanted them. I think they are good idea and most traffic safety studies support their worth.

I believe you are right, it may in fact be Estoril Blue. I did some research and I thought the 04 4.8is only came in Le Mans blue, I still need to check this out and find out what is what. I want the DRL's for the same reason, added safety and I will feel a little bit safer with them on when the wife takes it out.

OMG, that is too weird. Sorry avanti27 I had no idea you were looking at this X5.

Welcome bulldog. Very nice looking X5, love the color. What is that right above the door lock switch?
(And wow, is that avanti27 thing so bizarre!! wow! What are the chances!? )


It's just a car freshener with 2 sided tape. I feel the same way about the avanti27 situation.

Did those plates come on the car?

Yes
