Got a call from the dealer and supply is short for standard 18" wheels so to ensure production flows they will be giving me 19" for free, you gotta love that. I'm really hoping for the 'Y' spokes. I loved the 20", but something had to give and 20" meant sports pack as well. This mummy doesn't want to go back to work just yet  We managed to talk him into giving us floor mats - wow what a generous guy!
Note on USB for Ipod: We had a look at this and realised one could easily use the port in the centre armrest console and run the cord through the gap in the armrest cover and placing the Ipod just infront of the armrest. There's plenty of room. Maybe try that first and then get retro fitted later if you don't like it.

Sounds a great car ! Did the dealer tell you which 19" wheels you were going to get ? I got the 212's. The USB ipod option gives the option of controlling through i-drive but I guess this can be done via the ipod with just as much distraction. The sunroof on the X5 is AMAZING this was one of the big items which made my mind up between the X5 and the ML350.
