Looking to get an X5 has to be an E model

[TerminatorX5]

1st one - amazing terracota interior - i do not recall seeing this color.. i wonder if this individual color... this one has nice options, even Webasto engine heater... rear airbags... what is the deal on 3 years/unlimited miles warranty? is it from new? or it is what you get? you got a VIN for this one?

the other is nice too - it has the nav, the black one doesn't... i'd go for the black one, even without nav - you can retrofit an aftermarket unit, if you really want it.. the color combo is stunning...

Yeah that's what I was thinking as well its just the black one is like 100 mikes away from me but might be worth the drive up to check it out and buy it

I strongly Suggest the Black one! The interior alone is worth the 100 mile drive!

my wife just checked out both of your options and she categorically said - the black one with terracota interior... she said, chicks dig it...

of course, it is your call but it seems that the black one is the one of choice...

[2die4]

Yeah I will go check it out the interior is unique most of the cars I have seen have all been black leather interior

The black 06 sport is nice, that'd be my pick!

I'm very happy with my 06 3.0d, if you can get a nice one so will you!!

E70 will not work as it is using the MOST system, not easily tapped system...

To be PC (Politically Correct) people with disabilities don't want to be called "Handicapped". They prefer limited mobility, disable, or physically challenged. Made the mistake of calling them handicapped at a public meeting for a train station that I was involved with, boy did I get an ear full from them.

i know the feeling - years ago, when i just came to the US and the some of the old habits were still fresh, i opened a door for a young lady, without even thinking about it (it was instilled in our brains from the moment we went to schools, boys were thought chivalry and how to use a hammer and screwdriver, girls were thought how to cook and saw, in addition to regular academics), and that girl flew off the handle!!! literally, it felt as she were a witch who misplaced her broom... so, it seems that one can offend just about anyone else by doing or not doing just about anything...

considering the fact that I was born and raised in a politically incorrect country, i do rather often find myself being politically incorrect... nevertheless, i think that any word can be offensive, if it is uttered in an offensive manner - say, there is an almost 100 year old tension between Armenians and Azeris (even though Turks were the ones who committed genocide against armenians), and a normal, common word in Armenian, Turk (meaning a Turk and Azerbaijanis at the same time), has a super negative connatation... Accordingly, the word in Azeri, Armenian (Ermani) has a very bad meaning... Let me note, that there are no alternatives in either languages...

Living first 30 years of my life with my grandmother, who lost both of her legs in WWII, I know first hand how hard it is for those folks - nothing is really adopted around them to help them out, even though some attempts are made (in the US the ADA legislation). I drove my first car that was equipped with manual gears and levers, so I know a little bit about this environment, even though each case is totally unique...

I sure hope that the 2die4 did not get upset with my choice of words
