Flying to Atlanta from Florida to drive it home tomorrow!

LeMans blue with NAV. 36K miles.

Going from a Viper (Sunday car) and my Titan crew cab (daily driver) to ONE car. I think it can be the best of both worlds!!

I have owned other BMW's...

2002 M3 SMG
2005 M3 6 speed with a full Active Autowerke supercharger system (and a bunch of other stuff) that made 450 whp.

I can't wait to spend 400+ miles getting used to it tomorrow!!

I have learned a lot about them from this site! THANKS!!!

First off, congrats!!

Are you buying it from an individual or dealer??

Individual. He is a car enthusiast...Has / had quite a few high end cars...Did a Carfax, etc.

I tend to be trust worthy person...So far I have been OK...Fingers crossed!

it's going to be hard from going to a viper to a X5... X5 has a lot of power, but its no comparison to the Viper.

I put less than 2K miles on the Viper in a year...I never drive it. That was even TRYING to drive it. I put about 25K miles / year on the Titan. So really a comparison to the Titan...I know it is NO Viper, but it should be at somewhat fun!

Good choice of the 4.8is over the 4.4i. Congrats.
Remember your camera to document the trip and the X.
