Haha, I still think I am going to love it!
I got my delivery date today! 8Sep. I tried to get my SR to add the running boards and the space saver spare, but they had already started production on it and were unable to modify the build (i dont think he tried very hard).
In other news, BMWUSA changed the price of the spare from 100 to 150, but the running boards went from ~900(IIRC) to 300.
No luck on the cost of the hitch though

I'm not suggesting that the X5 is the best off road vehicle around, but given BMW's own lack of emphasis on off roading, I was truly surprised at what it could do.
My SR talked me out of running boards on my current X5; they aren't very wide/deep, and so they don't offer a lot of assistance in getting in or out of the vehicle -- but they do protrude enough to get your pants leg wet and/or dirty in bad weather conditions. I passed last time, and will again with the new one. They do look nice though . . .
