GET THE SPORTS!! When I got my '11 35d with Oyster Leather...ventilated seats were only offered with black or sand beige. I was very nervous getting a car without ventilated seats, as my last 3 cars had them, and I got really used to them. But, when I tried them in the E70, the ventilated seats did in all honesty feel somewhat useless! In my 2 ML63s and my 750i..the ventilated seats were AMAZING! I do not know why they ventilated seats in the E70 felt so poor!

So...get the Sports Pkg. IMO, the X5 just looks too vanilla and like a Mom's car without it. Especially Sports Pkg with staggered 214 wheels...HOT!!

P.S.

Also, where I am...May-Oct is brutal. Last summer we had week after week of 105F to 112F weather. Light leather, UV/heat reducing tint, using a BMW windshield screen when parking and trying if possible to park in the shade really helps!!
