Must admit your X5 sd sounds loaded ...well done. I'm looking at SD but given we are so close to 2010 order update (in about 4 months or so) I'll likley wait and get something delivered in Jan 2010.

Just a question on sport vs non sport - is the adaptive drive that good? its bloody expensive but sounds great. I want to get 20' wheels (as they are the only ones that look good IMHO) but worred that its only available as sport and that may make daily ride a bit harsh etc ... I was starting to head back to idea of getting 19's in a non sport to save $$ and perhaps get a more comfortable ride ..but then again I would have though appeal of getting SD over standard 3.0d is the performance factor and therefore want to be able to corner better etc ..interested in your view as we'll likely hold our car for 4-5 yrs ....

also - I think white is the new black ..love it ..but also love lighter interior rather than black (all my BM's have been black inside ..want to get something to lift the mood a bit) ..did you go blac interior? I've noted a few white ext with camel interior (and even one with white ext and beige int) ..but dealers say dont do it as they dont look good together ....thoughts?
