Hello all and thanks to thh guys who responded to my earlier post about the deal I was working on with the X5. I ended up buying the 2008 X5 4.8. It is Black Sapphire, Black interior, and pretty much everything except Msport and sport pkg. I have only put 35 miles on it, but I do love it. I hope to be able to input here on my findings as well, and learn as much as I can. For now, I want to drive it and see what I learn and think.
