Anyone else taking delivery ....

[whoopy-do]

Anyone besides me in the UK taking delivery of there X5 on saturday morning...

(In case you dont know the uk gets its 08 plate on march 1st hence many of us wait for it)

Just had the dealer install the titanium grilles for me cost about £148

Tracker has been fitted

Now just 5 sleepless nights till its finally here !

Yep ME

I've already had mine (08 reg) delivered directly to my local car audio dealer to have a tracker fitted also.
I had to go there to sign for the vehicle and coulndnt resist a sit inside. I was tempted to have a drive but was told that if I was caught before saturday by the Ol bill the DVLA will take the plates and Tax disk back with no refund, as well as the fine for driving without insurance - even though I had a certificate from 26th. and when I pay to get it re registered, it will be a '57' instead. so I refrained.
2 nights left and then I can drive it.
3.0 sdM sport - 3 miles on the clock

congrats guys, I took delivery of ours last Friday 57 reg used.
4.8iSE as can be seen here http://www.xoutpost.com/x5-e70-forum/...mped-ship.html
Came out of an ML63 AMG and the X is by far the nicer car,less power obviously but as a package a far better car.
Adaptive drive makes the 21" feel like you are riding with 19" honestly it's that good.
I have a Sprintbooster going on the car tomorrow which should really bring the car to life.

The 3.0sd is supposedly a great engine, real life consumption figures though are disappointing if you read the forums averaging 24mpg.

I'm sure you will really enjoy the X, I know we are

congrats nwcs, i have resisted the lure of seeing it yet, i had the tracker people fit it at the dealership who by the way were great (compnay was called AMS, had the rac trackstar plus fitted for 249 +vat)

Love the spec siree's , how are you finding the beige interior, easy to keep clean? the only reason i didnt go for it was due to having a 18 month old son who now likes to kick the backs of the seats etc.. the wheels must be a mare to clean!

only one more day to go!

zymol leather cleaner works a treat.
changed the beige mats to black ones for the winter.

I picked the camel leather looks like dark cream for the seats top part of the door trim / handle and arm reast.
The rest is in black including the back of the seats for practical reasons and looks very effective.
I will post some piccies after the weekend.

one aspect of the sdm sport I'm disappointed with is the lack of sills - I don't mean running boards but the actual brushed alloy protective sills - like on the M5 as the 'M' logo on - it's just bare paint so if anybody can point me in the right direction of some protective sills with the OE look, that would be great!

[whoopy-do]
