I'm the guy who almost cancelled my order. Am I ever happy that I kept it. Picked it up Saturday, Monaco Blue exterior with Saddle Brown interior.

Sorry no pictures, I can't keep it clean thanks to snow and salt.

For me, BMW hit this one out of the park. I love the diesel feel, the 3.0 always felt like it needed some additional oomph, the diesel is smooth and really feels like it belongs in the X5. The X5 has an entirely different personality with this engine.

I also really like the new iDrive/Nav. No more delays while the bluetooth phonebook downloads (I was tired of having to wait to turn the radio down or switch stations). The new rear-view camera is superb and the quality of the display is crisper.

The new radio/sat presets are great. HD Radio is really nice, especially on my local AM sports talk station.

Finally, I ordered the comfort seats and they are great. The seat warmers are a bit more aggressive than my 2008 was.

Only complaint is I got the Bridgestone run flats that I had ditched on my 2008.
