Hey thanks guys for all the help. I've been sending PM's to a few of you and really appreciate your advice. My wife was able to drive a local Sport model and found the seats to be too stiff and uncomfortable however, the standard one felt great. The second (local) vehicle appears to fit the bill but we are still working on price with the dealer. My wife is very good and practical.....if it's not a good price, it's not worth it (thanks Dave Ramsey)!

2006, X5, 4.4, No NAV, White w/ tan interior. My wife said it drove really nice and now does like the V8. We'll see how the day goes. Thanks again.

If I wanted to add XM and I-Pod capabilities, is the BSW the way to go? I emailed Zach and he did mention the standard radio was easier to connect to than the NAV unit.
