I have to agree w/ some other posters though on just getting the X5M instead.

Well, I have already tried to convince the husband that I need the X5M and that did not go over to well. As for the supercharger and my price configuration I guess I was not clear on what comes for that price. Here is a breakdown:
Supercharger System; High Flow Intake Manifold; High Flow Air Mass Meter; High Flow Throttle Body; Free Flow Exhaust; Strut Tower Brace; Signature Floor Mats; Serial Numbered Dinan S3-X5 4.4i Plaque; Dinan Deck Lid Badge actual price is $14295 and then 32.5 hours of labor. Figured it would be about $20k.
Biggest problem is I love my body style and I love my X5 built to my specifications. I am totally open to all other options and would like to thank you guys for you input. I will definitely start looking at those other options. I am just trying to get a little more out of my X5 because I have so much fun pushing the boys around when they get in front of me on BMW cruises.
