The 2010 X5 35D is in my possession!

[Daripper]

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to let everyone know that I picked up the new ride late yesterday afternoon. I forgot to bring my camera but I snapped some pics from my Iphone. Just a teaser.



I'll be taking more pics this weekend when I start the modding process. Stay tuned.

Intial thoughts: Love the technology package, love the sound of the diesel engine and the torque it provides, sports seat are comfortable, love the new idrive, my color combo looks awesome vermillion/tobacco/dark bamboo...very rich, overall im a happy owner.

What I miss is the ambient lighting inside the cabin. Yeah...I was spoiled with the E93..

There is ambient lighting on the X5, are you saying that the E93 is different ?

Yup, it’s different on the E90-93. The doors from the inside have LEDs along the door that emits a red glow, like under cabinet lighting. It’s very soothing and stays on the whole entire time when you drive or when you get in and out of your car. It looks awesome at night.

The E93 could be ordered with a factory installed LSD dispenser, by which it's driver could take hits of LSD without removing his/her hands from the steering wheel.

Due to cost cutting measures this optional feature was removed from the 2010 E70 models.

The option will be brought back in 2011, in an attempt to convince drivers that their new X5's are actually nice to look at, when compared to the 2010 models.

Mine has it too: "563 Ambiance Lighting" is included in Premium Package. When I took delivery it was daytime and we (dealer sales people and I) looked all over and could not see it. By the time I got home from delivery it was dark and the feature was evident (nice too!). I see the red glow in the door pockets and coming down from ceiling console over center console. Are you sure yours is missing? You show Prem in your list.

Nice looking ride! Congrats. Show some interior photos too.

It says that I have it...hmm..I guess from all the excitment of bringing it home i didnt see it. I'll check again tonight. Is ambient lighting something we can turn on and off from the idrive or instrument dimmer switch? I guess I was use to seeing it on the doors on the E90 as shown here: e92 Interior Mood ambient Lights - So Sweet! - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum - E90Post.com

Thanks,

DaRip
