Twin Turbo X5 in Perth - let me be one of the first

The dealer had a spare allocation for Jan 08 production so I took the opportunity and ordered a Space Grey X5 3.0sd Exec with the following added options
  • Sports package
  • panoramic sunroof
  • Head Up Display - wish it also displayed Revs, Fuel level
  • style 211 alloys
  • side steps
  • HiFi Loudspeaker system
  • Camel trim with bamboo
Really looking forward to delivery day ! Hope the 3.0sd version comes with a badge on it that says Twin Turbo in bold letters

The dealer estimates that the car will arrive Mar/April but I'm praying that it will be much earlier...

I'm trying to figure out the schedule ie why it takes around 3 months.

How long does it take to build it (1 month?), ship it here to Australia (1 month ?), delivery to dealer (??)

I managed 3k off but it still worked out at 155k cos it's almost fully loaded + individual paint. they seemed very loathe to give me anything off at all, saying they could easily fill the order at full RRP due to the demand for the twin turbo and the very limited build slots. which is probably true, but I asked the salesman to try anyway and they agreed

thats good to hear about the 3k off. I will keep in mind when I work out the final deal, this being when the car gets here and I'm trading in my 2006 X5.

Some salespeople like to give the standard line such as 'there selling like hot cakes', ' long waiting list' etc etc. I have no time for these types and I am lucky that I know some really genuine people at my local dealer in both sales and service - I'm always happy when i visit and leave.

What options did you choose to get it to $155k ?

sounds great !

I wanted the climate comfort windscreen also but the options list said it wasnt compatible with Heads Up Display - looking at the list right now. Will be interesting if you get both options.
