I just placed the order for my wife's new X5, 2 days ago. I just got the production number yesterday from my dealer. It goes into production on 1/19/09. I should have it the second week of February. Here are the specs:
2009 X5 4.8i
Color: Jet Black
Interior: Black Perforated Nevada Leather & Dark Burl Walnut Wood Trim
Options:
- Sports Package
- 20" OEM Style 214 Wheels
- Active Ventilated Seat Package
- Cold Weather Package
- Premium Package
- Premium Sound Package
- Technology Package
- Active Steering
- Comfort Access
- Running Boards
- Sirius SAT Radio
- Aero Kit
I had the Rear Climate Package, but decided last minute to remove it. I'm going with 5% tint from the rear doors and back and I figured I didn't need the shades either.
Here is everything that I have planned for it, when it arrives:
- H&R Wheel Spacers
- Powdercoat the 20" OEM 214 wheels Gunmetal!
- SprintBooster
- Painted Jet Black Kidney Grills
- 5% Llumar Tint-Rear
- 20% Llumar Tint-Front
- Smoked/Tinted LED Side Markers
- 6000K Xenons
- 6000K HID Fogs
- 8500K GP Thunder Angel Eyes
- 8500K GP Thunder Cornering Lights
- Super White LED Lic Plate Bulbs
- Front & Side Solaris Exterior Invisibulbs (Amber Flash)
- DEBADGED or will have "X5 and 4.8 Emblem/Lettering" painted Jet Black and remounted (still undecided, but definitely having the side lettering debadged).
I have been a BMW owner for many years and many, many models, but this is our first X5. At first, I wasn't too excited, but I have to say that now that this is a reality, I'm getting the gitty feeling again when I order a new car. I can't wait! My wife and my kids are going to be rolling in style; that is for sure!
