hi everyone, ive been lurking the past few weeks, decided i would finally register and share the good news. here is a little bit of background. we have been a 3 car family with a corvette suv, and truck, the past few years, were having a baby at the end of sept., sold the vette.

my wife has liked the e53 x5 for a while and has always said it is her dream car. she currently drives a 2004 4runner. so we had decided we would get either an 05 or 06 4.8is a few weeks ago. i started calling about a few, problem was they were all really far away. so i was at work one night searching autotrader and had gotten info and numbers on a couple of them, then later that night........BAM, pics of the e70 showed up. needless to say, my post it with the e53's hit the bottom of the trash can pretty fast.

i had been waiting on the option pricing before heading to the dealer, and then when that surfaced last night, i was good to go. so i went to my local dealer today, and found out we will be getting their first new x5. order goes in oct 1. we are gonna be getting the 4.8 w/ premium pack, cold weather pack, rear climate pack, sport pack with 20's, comfort access, satellite radio, and probably running boards. sticker is around 65, 66k. gonna be a long wait, but i think having a newborn will pass the time pretty fast.
