I've had three E36s in my past (two of which were M3s), and two X5s. I think I just need a change and a back-to-basics kind of thing. The GTI comes stock with Bluetooth, iPod hookup, and heated seats--good enough for me. I think the two things I'll miss the most are the HUD and the heated steering wheel. Oh, and that Napa leather is always nice...but the GTI isn't a luxury vehicle, in my opinion. It doesn't need leather, like the X5 does (again IMO).

Anyway, I will post a couple more photos after I pick it up tomorrow.

I just cleaned my X5 out. It'll be a sad day tomorrow. As they say though, when one door closes, another one opens. I'm really looking forward to the fact that the GTI has MUCH less exterior surface area, so it won't take an entire day to do a proper detail, like the X5 does/did.

Thank you to everyone who's helped me with my X5 problems over the years. As I said above, I will be back someday. I still have my eye on a X5 50i.
