Took the plunge today.. Bye E53, Hello E70
After receiving a notice from BMW FS in the mail that the lease on my 2005 E53 3.0 X5 is up in 90 days; I spent the weekend driving every car I could think of. And as has been the case for the previous 14 years I found myself right back at BMW. So, I took the plunge and ordered myself the E70 4.8.
Here's what I ordered. I can make changes for about 48 hours so let me know if anyone sees anything missing or has suggestions etc. 4.8 Jet Black Saddle Brown Dark Bamboo (was debating between Brushed Alum and Dark Bamboo) Sport Pack Prem Pack Prem Sound Tech Pack Cold Weather Pack Rear Climate Pack HUD Running Boards Ipod/USB Comfort Access Came in at $70,975.00 Should take delivery in early March. Going to miss my E53. It has been a great car for me.

Wow, an almost loaded 4.8i is a big jump from a 3.0i E53. But the specs look great, looking forward to it!

You're going to be blown away by the difference. I'm amazed going from a 4.4i E53 to a 4.8i E70. Congrats!

Saddle Brown with any trouble? Also same comment about the brushed aluminum. It's funny I don't think I've seen anyone take the 'graphite' yet.

Congratulations! You are going to love it. Did you find the 3.0 underpowered? Is that why you jumped up to the 4.8?

Finally someone orders jet black---it is the better looking of the 2 blacks by far--great depth and clarity. Congrats--did you get the 20s as well ?
