Took Delivery of My 2007 BMW X5 Today! (30 Picture Gallery Included!)
 --------------------------- -Titanium Silver (TiAg) -Black Leather -Dark Burl Walnut trim -------------------------- Premium Package Technology Package Rear Climate Package Cold Weather Package Heated Rear Seats ----------------------- Basically, I love it. I don't have a ton to say about the car, I've only been driving it for a few hours. (but have driven the E70 in the past). I'll do a full review in a few weeks. Performace is very good overall. Power is good all the way through, and the engine is more refined and quiet. Exterior is very nice, too. I really like the conrast between the silver and the black trim pieces. The headlights are extremely bright. They are bright and have excellent reach. The cornering lights are cool, as are the LED tailights. I do, however have a problem with the rear view camera. When I tried it, possibly due to the sun, it was all washed out and hard to read. It was also displaying colors improperly (warm up?) and the PDC was beeping like crazy from everywhere. Instead of being informed, I was confused.  So that's why I changed the display from camera to the "PDC View". I now have a diagram of the vehicle, and it actually tells me where the beeps are coming from. I haven't given up on the camera, maybe I'll try it later. All the seats are very comfortable (and heated). I have mixed feelings about I-Drive. Sometimes, it's a hassle to use. (Navi, climate) but other times, it's manageable (Radio, phone). Also,The best navi display is the "arrow" display, with the map in the side window. But I'm still learning, so I hope it will get easier. I paired my Blackberry to it, but only A-G uploaded into my adress book. I don't know how to do the rest. It is a T-Mobile 8700. The "number dial" worked flawlessly, but the "name dial" did not work even once. It is good at numbers, names not so much. For those who were wondering, the small insert in the upper left of the glovebox is for a plastic key that YOU NEED TO HAVE IN THE CAR WITH YOU AT ALL TIMES. It seems that many people did not get this key. It basically is a hollow key fob, in which you put the plastic wallet key in. If at any reason the regular key fob does not work, you would insert this device into the ignition to start the car. Very important indeed. I have not experienced start lag, as some have said. Overall, I am very happy with my new purchace. It definately is still the ultimate driving machine.  Also, many thanks to Patrick BMW in Schaumburg, Illinois, for a satisfactory experience. A few pictures are included. The lighting where the car was (outside against a wall) was pretty terrible, so sorry about that. I will post new pics periodically in my x-page.                               Pics to come: -night -phone -more navi -address book Check my X-Page for updated pictures! Feel free to ask questions/photo requests!

Congrats!!! Enjoy that sweet ride!
It is funny that you took a photo of the spare key shell in the glove box.... I have been talking about that today. I NEVER KNEW that there was a spot for it there. Some thought it was for a flashlight. I determined today it was for the shell.

It looks like your rear wiper is missing?

X5 Guy:
lemme guess....you have third row? The second row seats are 100% different than the ones on the third row models. Both the seatback and cusion are changed. The armrest is the entire lenght of the middle seat, and the cup holders are located in the middle seat head restraint. Also notice that both the seat cusion and the backrest are wider. Here are some second row pics..    When I took delivery, the shell was already in the glovebox slot. But, they told me for valet, to take out the removable metal key from the main key, and give the valet the main key (sans the metal key once inside of it.) They said the wallet key was only for emergencies. What did they tell you?
