Hmmm, interesting.
A friend was at spartanburg for one of those track day things a few weeks ago and spoke with one of the BMW test engineers(?) there, anyway, he said that some major fault was noticed following the production of the first 50 E70's off the production line and all 50 had been trashed.
Don't know if this is a bunch of BS from the BMW guy or not.

Production is now up to 878 units for w/c 6th November. Does anyone know what the maximum plant output is per week?

I hope that is not true. Those who got invited to the 2007 X5 Ride and Drive show seems to be pretty happy with the car. Anyway, have anyone here heard of the option for the E70 "Sport suspension setting"? Will the car be lowered with the sport suspension setting?

Via the 800 # my 4.8 production number reports in production with a estimated completion date of 12/5. I guess early builds = loooong production time. I'm preying that the 1st few weeks of builds don't = lots of production bugs.

Anyone know how long it should take x5 to get to Seattle area and through PDC and to the dealer? My other BMW came across on a boat so not sure what to expect for domestic transit time.

Cheers

According to the UK brochure, the sport suspension does not result in a lowered ride height.
