At one time I had and e36 that was a Euro beater and hadn't been taken care of but I fixed it up a bit and then sold it on.
I placed my order with Pentagon Car Sales here in Italy, have my confirmation and build week so needless to say I'm excited! I ordered a Vermilion Red w/oyster leather, Tech, Sports, Prem Sound, Premium, Rear Climate, Comfort Access and Multi contour seats. I'm not real concerned about the light colored leather too much, my 02 has the light gray interior and it's not that difficult to take care of or clean, just cant let it go too long without a clean and condition.
I'll post pics once it shows up and I'm sure I'll be asking questions and gleaning ideas from all of you that have been in X5s for a while.
