Hi all,

Picked up the new X5 and officially drove of the lot at 7:00 pm.

The vehicle was in almost perfect condition.. no scratches or dings. One very minor paint flaw on the hood which they will correct. Checked the alignment on the test drive, once again perfect. The list came in handy and the orientation was top notch at North Scottsdale BMW. Got the home link for the garage door working in a flash and for the most part, with the exception of nav functions the I-drive is pretty straight forward. The Ipod integration is really well done and the bluetooth works quite well.

BTW, I officially agree, the back up camera really sucks and stays on WAY too long after shifting to drive but everything else seems to work as advertised. Will give a more thorough drive this weekend.

Once again, thanks to all for the insight I gathered on this site.

Yep... digging it!

Mike
