after 4 weeks of back and forth between giving up x5s (6 years worth) and making my next lease a 535x my favorite dealer made the choice for me....
he found me the exact truck i would have built ( well almost) i gave up comfort seats and running boards for comfort access and third row, and HD radio...otherwise every other option fully loaded and i now own my THIRD saphire black x5......once in it i was thrilled......will likely at some point back ino or drive into something until i get used to the new shifter....sometimes technology is just a little silly.....

would have liked to wait for the new idrive..but who really knows when anything will actually hit the floors from BMW anymore, and with upgrades now seemingly coming monthly instead of bi yearly....the though of passing on a sick price to hope for new irive or twin turbos....just wasnt worth while....

now if i can jsut figure out how to make the nav screen full size id be thrilled...today will be my first full day with the car and outside of superbowl prep i guess ill split my time between driving and programming the sucker.....

i welcome myself back home to x5world...(i was always scared to leave)
