My first post and my first BMW..

[MD11F]

Well, I came across this forum while surfing another BMW form.. this one should work well as I'm only interested in the X5, and the E70 specifically. It's my first BMW as I just couldn't bring myself to buy the Mercedes products this time around, even though I absolutely love my E320 CDI.. their SUV's were just not up to par with the car, nor BMW..

So anyway, 3 days ago I ordered an X5 4.8i with every option except ventilated contour seats (didn't like how they looked, and I wanted the Tobacco color), and I also didn't (yet) order the 20" wheel option although I'm all ears if you all think I should.

I've got a delivery date estimate of late July, so pictures will follow, but for now I'll just share my limited experience with the vehicle and purchase experience, and of course I'll ask a lot of questions to the guys with X5's already..


First and foremost, I was hoping that someone out there has my colors so I'll ask if anyone does, to please post pics of the inside and outside!

I ordered white with tobacco, and bamboo, with sports package (black headliner).. If you've got the same colors, please share so I can have something to drool over while I wait

thanks!
