Looks nice!

Did they at least throw in floor mats for you?

I have taken my X5 to Global for warranty work because they are the most convenient to where I live. From my experience they seem to be expensive, but that doesn't really matter for warranty work.

Good luck with your new X.

Yes. I was supposed to pick them up yesterday, but Service and Parts was closed.

Global's prices did seem to be a lot higher. And I will take the M5 there as long it's under warranty and the maintenance plan.

After that, I will find an indy shop or do the work myself.

You could have done better if you were in Colorado. I got 9.7% off MSRP on mine with zero miles and color/interior and options I wanted. It all depends where you are. Enjoy your new car.

Barcius, I am on my second BMW bought from Gebhart in Boulder and I didn't even do anything close to that! Do you mind if you share?

:welcome: I think you could have done better, 08s were selling for way less than MSRP sometime back when I bought mine. I got mine that MSRP'd at 59500 for 52K+TTL with 40miles on it. I guess also depends on the region, here in CA there are just too many BMW dealers hence the competition is tough.

You have tough competition in your garage with the M5 but I am sure you will love the ride for an SUV Welcome again.

Nice sport package!, but did they forget to throw in Titanium grille?
It should come with sport pacakge, since they have already put on those Titanium lower center grille (at the bumper and below kidney grille)

US Spec 3.0si does not get titanium grill even with sport package. You have to get 4.8i do get the titanium grill

Congratulations. My advice is don't do any hand wringing about possibly getting a better deal. That's in the past, look ahead and enjoy one of the best vehicles on the planet!
