We took delivery on 12/23, right before our Christmas trip to Tahoe, so now I am finally getting to posting some pics and thoughts on the first 2 weeks. X5 did great on the trip, used less than one tank of gas from San Jose to Tahoe and back, plus a few days of driving around town, about 24MPG average on a new engine, love it. One regret is not getting the comfort seats, so anyone about to put in an order I'd recommend you get the comfort seats. Standards seats aren't bad, but the comfort seats are just better. Which brings me to why I know comfort seats are better, X5 35d is already in the shop for check engine light and the dealer gave me a 528i loaner with comfort seats. Check engine light is due to an oxygen knock sensor, and they won't have the replacment parts until Monday. Doesn't sound like a huge deal, but what worries me is that they had to get a local BMW engineer to come and look at it to pin point the problem. According to my SA he also requested that they run some additional tests on the oxygen sensor before replacing it. He probably just wanted additional data points for his FA report, still kind of strange. Anyone else had something like this happen?
