You are welcome.

Let me make a suggestion on your purchase.

If you want an X5, take advantage of the current lease special or by a used '04 (or '05 if you have to have Bluetooth). The current lease is smokin' because in Fall of '06 the new X5 will arrive. If you don't want to lease and you want it now, definitely by an '04 with say <15k miles. You'll save $10k-$20k on an X5 thats still in warranty and just broken in.

And if you are going to spend $40k-$50 on a used X5, I would also recommend you look hard at an '04 LX470. I just sold my wife's '03 after 2 years and I'll tell you, it's the single best vehicle on the planet. Nav blows BMW away, more room, seats 7, standard stereo rocks, true go anywhere capability with a ride that equals any luxury sedan.... You just have to be looking for a drive by wire feel- not the BMW feel. And I would definitely buy a used LX470 over the GX new.

Good Luck
