yeah, I wish....The second my X gets off the boat back to the US, thats when....The cost of shipping them overseas is almost as much as the wheels themselves!! Of course i could always purchase them from a UK dealer and pay double..NOT!! Ill keep drooling in the meantime though....

a blanket and my AAA Premier member card (since my wife is a manager there and all) I can have my X towed to any shop up to 200 miles away for free

first aid kit
flashlight
knife
umbrella
OEM tools
The number for BMW Roadside assistance


and during winter i keep an extra jacket and a pair of gloves just in case i have to start walking

If I were you all, I would purchase additional water hose that connects between the reservoir tank and water hose, it's $30.00 but worthy. This crap is easily breakoff, I think it's a bad design. I have a spare one in the car, avoid from getting the car tow when this one break off on its own.

When you live where the temperature rarely dips below freezing, you don't have to deal with the whole "carry kitty litter, matches and a hatchet to build a lean-to".

Absolutely true. But isn't it nice to know that there are some buyers of SUVs who actually spend most of their time in conditions that really need all four wheels driving?

The hatchet and shelter instance was from three years spent in a small city close to mile zero of the Alaska Highway; 8 months of winter and 4 months of bad snowmobiling

As a doc, you may appreciate the changes we had to make with the next assignment. After three years in the north, the SUV was shipped to northern Chile, in the Atacama desert. We lived at sea level, and I worked anywhere from sea level to 15,000 ft, usually all in the same day. Same emergency kit, added lots of bottled water, and a bottle of oxygen with a mask. I never needed it myself, and never had a visitor keel over, but it was a fairly common occurence.

I bet you could share some interesting stories! If you are ever in Pensacola, the beer is on me.
