I'll be listening for the engine vibration or droning sound at idle.
As for the X6, I'm not partial to it either, but if the deal works out as suggested by my friend, I should be able to drive it for the summer, order an X5 for MY2010 and trade the X6 in the fall for not much less than I paid for it. I'll have to see how the deal works out (if it works out!).

Yeah, It's a pain, but the shop foreman said, it's a good idea to keep the battery charged. I drive short distances, so he said it wouldn't keep the battery charged. On my older BMW's I could plug the charger into the cigarette lighter and it would charge the battery. Even my Porsche 996tt worked that way as well. I don't have to charge it every night, but I'd rather not have a problem. I have no vibration or droning sound at idle. The engine in my car is smooth. Let me know how your test drive goes.
