hey everyone, this is my first post over here at x5 world, but I have been active on the modding scene over at e46fanatics for a few years. My parents are about to drop a ton on an 3.0 x5 with literally every option available except the new 3rd row seats. I just wanted to see what you guys thought about the pricing for the number of features I have listed below. We currently have a rx330 on lease (it ends in 4-5 months, we want out early)....my parents are set on the new mineral green color and as I said before pretty much want every option available..... I have gone to 3 dealerships: Prestige BMW (Repeat customers), JMK BMW (Good friends with Tommy G, runs the autobody shop there), and Park Ave BMW. They have all given us pretty much the same price, but after posting this thread on e46 (http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthread.php?t=465927) it got me thinking that maybe we are getting screwed.

Thats MSRP and I we have negotiated down to around 65,500 (they may be able to do slightly better)

What do you guys think we should do? Also one member on e46 said that he thought many of these "options" would become standard on the 08 model....

We really don't know what to do, maybe a road trip somewhere within reason if the price is right? Maybe the v8?

Thanks for everyone's input and I look forward to contributing to x5world once we get ours!
