Night vision again!?

So does anyone know when the US 2008 X5's are due out? My 2007 has been 'On Order' for 3 weeks. Wondering if I should cancel and wait for the 2008.

In the past you can place an order in September and your dealers will start receiving units in October.

Two totally different beasts. I had a 540 for three years then switched to an X5. The 550 is a road rocket compared to the X5; however, for an SUV, the X5 is the best out there.

If she's already in an M3 I would transition her to the 550 with a couple of kiddie seats in the back. The X5 would be most useful if you have larger kids that require more space for sports equipment, etc., to be tossed in the back. X5 is a much larger auto.

Does she happen to be a soccer mom?

I will wait for the 2008 X5 spec sheet and if it is not there I am leaning towards the 550, but it will be the wives decision as it will be here ride. She currently drives a M3 CIC, but she need a baby hauler. Yeah I know the X5 will do a better job.

Just got off the phone with BMW. They told me Production starts in September for the 2008 X5. Orders are being taken in 2 to 3 weeks from now.

If I may ask, what level was the BMW NA exec you spoke to last week? And did he/she tell you when BMW will make the official announcement on the 08's?


Thanks
