You sure, the X5 M should be around 100-105k fully load w/tax.
The turbo S is closer to 140k-150k fully loaded w/tax.

Regardless I would expect the difference to remain around 30-40k between the two trucks.

whatever the price maybe, I hope they sell a lot of them so I can pick one up in a few years at discount

$150k for a fully optioned X5///M???
Where are you getting this info?? By the way, I'm talking prices in the US, not Dubai. RBoosted is likely right. If you go through the list of options and packages, I cannot envision a fully loaded X5///M exceeding $105k sticker. We'll need to wait on the options prices to know more specifically. Still a huge discount vs. a similarly loaded Cayenne Turbo or Turbo S. I mean it's at least $10k difference with just the Cayenne Turbo, and forget the Turbo S! So with this new beast, BMW is sticking a roundel-decorated middle finger at Porsche and at AMG.

Mine's ringing up at $92,325 (no Merino/Ventilated)

You saw it here first

What is smartphone integration?

And..

Is the perforated Merino Leather $3800 + $1900 if you want the ventilated seats?
Or does the $3800 include the ventilated seats?

It's a little confusing.

Guessing it's this:

From: BMW X5 M : Communication

Mobile phone preparation with Bluetooth interface
for the BMW X5 M.


The optional Bluetooth interface provides a wireless connection between the vehicle and Bluetooth-compatible mobile phones. The phones are operated via the hands-free kit, multifunction steering wheel, iDrive Controller or Voice Control depending on the equipment options of the individual vehicle. Your local BMW dealer will be happy to inform you about which mobile phone devices (and software versions) are compatible with the optional Bluetooth interface.

$3800 for full + $1900 for ventilated.. I'm saying no to both.

Edit - you can 'just' get full Merino for $3800 or perf'd Merino for $3800 that is required for ventilated seats ($1900).

I've seen 'full/dash/console leather' on the '09 4.8 and wasn't blow away by it. IMO and FWIW.

Mine comes out to $99,275 with everything except rear seat entertainment system. Ouch.

Basically iPhone integration and you get better reception and also charges iPhone while in snap-in adapter.
