The dealer found an X5 with most everything I wanted. It had just left the factory before they could get it on a truck heading here. So it went to New Hampshire, then was trucked back down to Maryland.

I haven't been this excited about a new car in many years. I think that deep down I always wanted a German (BMW) car. I also didn't give any consideration to reliability, resale value, overall usefulness etc. I simply went out and bought what my gut said I wanted. Also, I'm a huge fan of diesels and have wanted a good performing diesel "SUV" for a long time. When I saw a couple of weeks ago that BMW was selling diesel X5's, I knew right away I would buy one. Mine arrived at the dealer tonight and I'll be going to see it tomorrow.

Here are the spec's:
X5 xDrive35d
Monaco Blue metallic
Sand Perforated Nevada Leather
Active Ventilated Seat Pkg.
Cold Weather Pkg.
Premium Pkg.
Technology Pkg.
Comfort Access
Head-up Display
Satellite Radio

I'm having the iPhone connector and a Hitch installed at the dealer.

Dave.
