New to BMW/X5 need help with the right options

[Ricky Bobby]

sports package is steering wheel, anthracite headliner, gloss black shadowline window trims.

the car above is not sport package.


pano sunroof was a facelift option, not sure if it is part of premium package as i have pre-facelift and traditional sunroof.

its hard for me to find a 3.0I with all options (sport/winter/premium) I so just wanted to make sure i know which are more important
. I'm looking at it as if I'm gonna spend this kind of money then I better get everything

[TerminatorX5]

if you want to experience a "BMW", then make sure you get the Sport package... you will not regret it... all other ones -creature comforts...

I know I want the pano sunroof and rear air, not sure if the nav is worth going crazy looking for. the cold weather package is heated seats and ski bag? and what the hell come with the premium package

In that link they gave you it lists it all.

Just search for Premium package. Look at what's listed under that heading that refers to the model in question. When you come to/scroll to another heading that means that is the end of what's available for Premium package.

Here it is again:

Easy peasy.

Pano sunroofs are only available on the 2004-2006 models and was part of the Premium package.

Then I guess you can't go wrong. Just pick the one you like the best.

I have a feeling you're probably going to end up with 2004+ and a V8.
