Hey Guys,

I've just joined and thanks for all the information I have been able to take out of the, 'The Australian X5 Thread' (yes I read all the posts).

So I have my final spec with a dealer and I was wondering if you guys could cast your eye over my list and let me know what you think. Have I missed anything, do I need more, do I not need something etc etc.

This will be a build to order car.

E70-X5 xDrive 40d Sports

Sport Package (Standard on 40d)

- Sports Suspension Settings
- Sport Seats (replaced by Comfort Seats)
- 19" light-Alloy Wheels Y-Spoke 335 with mixed Tyres (replaced with M Sport Package Wheels)
- BMW Individual Roofliner Anthracite
- Sports Leather Steering Wheel (replaced with M Sport Package Wheel)
- BMW Individual High-Gloss Shadow Line (replaced with M Sport Package Exterior Line)

Innovations Package

- Automatic Tailgate Operation
- Comfort Access System
- Panoramic Glass Roof
- Bi-Xenon Headlights including Headlight Washer System
- High-Beam Assist
- Heads-Up Display

M Sport Package

- Sports Suspension Settings
- M Exterior parts
- Sport Seats (replaced with Comfort Seats)
- 20" Light Alloy Wheels Double Spoke 333M with Mix Tyres
- BMW Individual Roofliner Anthracite
- BMW Individual Exterior Line Aluminum Satinated
- BMW Individual Roof Rails in Black High-Gloss
- Seat Adjustment, Electric with Memory Function (Standard on 40d)
- Interior Trim Fine Brushed Aluminum (replaced with Fine-Wood Trim Bamboo Grain, Dark)
- M Door Sill Finishers

Sapphire Black Metallic Paint
Nevada Leather Black
Side View
Comfort Seats with Electric Lumbar Support
Connect Music Player to Mobile
Internet
Carpets
Windows to be tinted to 35% by a 3rd party supplier

Options that I thought of but have disregarded at this stage:

Seat Heating for Drive and Front Passenger (In Sydney with Car in a carport, probably only need 10 times a year?)
Adaptive Headlights (85% City Driving, are they really worth it?)
Alarm System (Been told its a waste on money)
Climate Comfort Windscreen (to expensive to replace and I'll just buy a sun shade)
HiFi System Professional (Can't justify the cost)

A couple of questions:

1. Because I have opted for the M Sport Package do I get the 19" from the standard car as well as the 20" from M Sport Package?
2. Does anyone have a link for the breakdown of what is included in the EPP (Executive Purchase Plan)
3. The Dealer is quoting June Production for a end of September delivery, is this realistic?

I have to place this order by Wednesday next week to guarantee June Production.

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
