First "luxury" vehicle

[ldgregory]

Hey all,

Well, my wife and I picked out a BMW x5si 4.8 fully loaded with everything except the rear DVDs ($3,200 seems a bit obnoxious to me for that option).

We're going in to sign the papers this evening, and we're buying it for just a tad under what Edmunds lists as the TMV for our area.

So, as a guy who's never owned a luxury vehicle before and who's idea of a good time is rock crawling in my 2005 Dodge Power Wagon and writing web applications, what things should I be concerned / interested in with the new purchase.

It's the wife's vehicle, and while I'm a mod freak with my truck, it's probably going to be hands off on her X5 unless it's minor mods.

I'll admit to being behind the power curve on her X5 as she more or less decided on it, so I've got a lot of reading and learning to do about it.

Looking forward to being part of the group.

Thanks.
