Picked up X3 today...pics

Just got back from the dealer.
For those who did not see my previous thread, I picked up a 2007 BMW X3 3.0si
Platinum Bronze
Tobacco Leather (priority one option)
Light Poplar trim (very rare!)
Premium, Nav, htd front seats and streering wheel, servotronic, privacy glass, and Steptronic.
When we got there, the salesmen brought me the final sheet for the vehicle, and that is when I noticed that the vehicle had dark ash wood, and not the light poplar we wanted. The salesman said the two plat gold X3s they had were "twins". Turns out, they had different wood. So, after prepping "my" X3, they needed to move 3 cars to get the X3 I wanted out of the showroom. They spent 35 mins prepping that one. Of course, as we were going to do the vehicle overview, it started to rain. Pouring. The guy said it was good luck. I hope so!
Overview:
Nav/Radio is not great. It takes a lot of patience, and you need to know what buttons to press. They might do the same thing, but only one lets you continue to view the screen your at, and one reverts to the main menu (bad). Nav is "ok". I find that the map is useless. I like the split screen, with radio on left, and navi arrow on right. Seems good. Bluetooth seems ok. I'll give a more comprehensive review later, I'm throughly exhausted now.
Vehicle:
Beautiul. Wonderfull exterior color, and beautiful interior. The tobacco leather is fantastic, and so is the light wood. gaps are kept to a minimum from what I see.
Driving dynamics: better than what I test drove. Suspension seemed softer (good). It's a good drive.
Of course, it stopped raining 5 mins after I pull into the driveway. I only got to take a few shots (before it rained). I will take much more at a later time.

Nice.

If I had to go X3 again, I'd go platinum bronze with light wood.

But its missing Xenon's !!! And the $500 wheel upgrade...

oh well...

There is a button to switch between radio & nav and its not 'Menu'. Its the one right of the 'telephone/info' button... That way you don't have to push Menu, and then scroll to GPS navigation and click...
