X5 advice needed (specs, wheels, tires?)

[Canadam]

Thanks everyone for your explication and comments.

The reason I want an SUV is for its 4WD safety, comfort and it's versatility / trunk space. I've considered the X6 for a very short while but have come to the conclusion that it just isn't as balanced as the X5 in terms of proportions... I would even say I think I find it somewhat ugly making it the first Bangle BMW that hasn't grown on me quite quickly, i.e. prior to hitting the streets....

I think I will stick with the 19" style 212's and all seasons that come with the sport pkg to start with and see how they treat me this summer and early winter. If they disappoint I will exchange the tires on them for snow tires and get 20" style 214's next spring with summer tires. Not really looking for that extra expense.

Can aftermarket tints be done by the dealer prior to delivery? What percentage would you go for and what is legal? Also the front sides or only behind the B-pillar? $$$ ?

Not looking to get a 3rd row (or get 4 instant children while owning my next car but you never know ) so I guess the 2 row back seat will have to do. Does anyone have pics of the sports seats? I generally do not like BMW standard seats (too flat) but love the comfort seats on my fathers new 5 series. I am 40-something years younger than he is so sportier seats would be preferred, but have never seen them yet.

Comfort access does not seem to exist as a separate option in Canada, only in premium pkg but I do not really need any of the other items in that so I think I will pass.

WRT Toronto dealers: I don't see why POSITIVE comments couldn't be made on the open forum? Only one I've seen from the inside so far is BMW of Toronto, which seemed OK but it is hard to tell, better to hear from experience.
