Hey Everyone,

Just put my order in today and can't wait til she gets here. Outgoing is my 05.5 s4 Avant, which I'll miss dearly. But with two kids I really need the extra space. Got a great deal on one of the last '08s to be made. Here are the specs:

2008 X5 4.8i
Alpine White
Saddle Brown
Brushed Aluminum Trim
Premium Sound
Premium
Sport
Comfort Seats w/ Lumbar
20" Y-spoke Wheels
Technology
Cold Climate
Rear Climate
Comfort Access
Heads-up Display
Running Boards
iPod/USB
Sirius
Aerodynamic kit

Thanks to this board for all the great info and pics (esp rh71 ).

Few questions though:

1) How much should I pay to have the aerodynamic kit painted and installed...dealer quoted me $2000 just for installation, so I passed and said I'd find someone else to do it for me.

2) What do you guys think of putting Pirelli Scorpion 275s all the way around for the winter, as I'd prefer not to buy another set of wheels.

3) DIfference between the optional aluminum and the standard running boards.

4) LOL, forgot to ask my dealer specifically, how long to build...3 weeks? Can I track its progress?

Thanks again all, look forwards to being a part of the community.
