X5FX, your X5 is bootiful! I'm waiting on my 2013 X5 35i M sport, but in carbon black with adaptive drive. After hearing your experience with AD, I'm happy I ordered it. Thanks. I initially ordered mine with the space gray, but after looking at the carbon black in its subtle dark blue hue in the sun light, I was sold on the color. However, the space gray reveals the beautiful curves of the X5 better. I'm glad you're happy with your X5.

Have you considered getting the Stage 2 Dinan tune? You'll get extra 55 HP and 101 lb-ft torque with full 4year/50,000 mile warranty for $2k! So much better than 15 HP and 30 lb-ft BMW offers in their M performance package for $1600.
