Must be great to cruise Maui in your nex X5 Edgarces! (My wife and I were married in Maui and have made many trips there. The Hula Grill in Lahaina is our all-time favorite place to eat.)

Bozo - the 3.0L X5 lists at just over 6.5 million yen or at current exchange rates somewhere around $60k USD...pretty pricey...so you have to really want one.

Less than 24 hours and counting till delivery -- I'm finding it hard to sleep at night these days.

BTW, they say that the 19" tires are not snow friendly. How snow-unfriendly are they? Does this mean I shouldn't even think about venturing out in moderate to heavy snow conditions, i.e. that I'll be worse off than even a normal sedan? Or does this mean that in comparison to other SUV type vehicles it doesn't quite measure up? What about rainy conditions? Any help/advice would be appreciated.
