I'm very pleased with my choices: 08 3.0si, Monaco Blue Metallic, Tabacco Nappa Leather, Dark Burl Walnut, Packages: premium package, premium sound, tech, comfort seats, ipod, HUD, HD radio.

I don't think I really need any of the other options. The color and interior are really stunning looking. The premium sound is probably my favorite in that our 05 x5 didn't have that so I really appreciate the difference. The HUD is so helpful. The seats are like barkaloungers and are really comfortable. The backup camera is really helpful in seeing where you're going! Of course the ipod connector is so convenient. No more plugging the cassette in my tape player to connect to my speakers and I'm rid of all the wires. Still haven't had time to set up the AM/FM stations so have only listened a little to HD radio. At just over 500 miles, so far I'm delighted and very happy with my choices.
