Bought 07 X5 at auction by mistake!

I'm fairly new to this forum but enjoy it and like the info I can get here so I thought I'd share my story. I already own an 01 X5 3.0 and love it. I went to an auction (friend has used car license) and was watching several e53 X5's but had my eye on an 07 3.0 that I really wanted. I only saw one 07 in the booklet they give you that lists all the vehicles. Anyway, in the confusion of the auction (24 lanes going at once) I saw the 07 coming in the door and bid on it thinking it was the one I had been looking at. Got it for 42K. When I looked at the car later out in the lot I realized it was the wrong one! It was a 4.8i instead of the 3.0. I've since had it to a dealer and he printed out the specs. Cold weather,rear climate,tech package,ARS & EDC ??, premium, sport, 20" 214's w/rft, tire pressure monitor. Space gray/gray leather. 12k miles with 2 1/2 years left on warranty. I'm glad I made the mistake now. I've put a couple thousand miles on it and I'm really impressed with this car.
