Thanks for the advice. I think I will skip the sport package. I have it on my 535, but that is a whole different animal that I think is lost without the SP. I think I can live without it on the X5.

Anyone have any experience with Tobacco leather? According to bmwusa.com, saddle brown is no longer available and my salesman said that Tobacco looks almost purple and advised me against it.
