Tomorrow evening I will be ordering my 2005 BMW X5 3.0i. I am 98.6% certain that this will be my next new vehicle. I have been searching since November 2004 for my replacement vehicle and am just now finding it (thanks to forums such as this). What I am hoping to accomplish is to receive as many pics of Black Sapphire Metallic exterior X5s as I can before going to the dealership. That way I can see the vehicle in its standard state, as well as, with any mods that you have done to the vehicle to allow me to see the possibilities that are available for this vehicle. Right now I am going Black Sapphire Metallic exterior, Gray Leather, Wood Trim (TDB), Premium, Rear Climate, Cold Weather and Sport Packages. I am ordering this vehicle so if you know of any tips or advice that I can use when placing my order to have it built I would appreciate it. Also, I have seen several pics of the aluminum running boards but have yet to find a single pic of the black running boards...can anyone help me out? TIA...
