For what I have seen here in the Middle East, people tend to keep those seat plactic cover on for some reason. Some cars are really old and still got those plastic seat cover on.

I hate the way the plastic feels, especially when there is good leather under it. Like I said earlier, it will come of very soon.

Thanks. I bugged my dealer so much about the new i-drive and the Nappa seat option because I wanted both, but he said that they don't get Nappa leather and they don't know about the i-drive.

I didn't order my car, but went to the dealership and booked a car coming in after a few days. They had 2 M sports coming in exactly the same so I booked 1 and gave a deposit. It turned out having Individual Interior (see pics below) and my dealer said since it was BMW Germany's fault they will give it to me in the same price(supposedly its a option worth thousands of $$$). I didn't think it went well with the space gray, and my dad was with me and said it looked tacky, so I ended up getting the same car with plain black interior.

I like plain black look myself, you made a right choice, but the aluminum trim interior for me is the best looking, when i get my e70 and if it does not have aluminum trim i'am replacing it, dont like the wood in X.
WHich do you prefair? this might be a stupid question to you because you already got m package but, what do you think about the aero kit?

I like the plain black to, although I would have preferred Nappa leather. A s for the interior trim, I ONLY like the brushed aluminum. If my car would have came with wood, I would have swapped it for the aluminum or Hamann carbon fiber set.

The aero kit is a very nice addition to the X5. It gives it a sportier look, with a low cost. Definitely worth it if you don't want to spend much.

Nice car,

I would like to know if the 3rd seat row and the Rear DVD entertainement were options in addition that you added or by default?

Because I purchased 2009 4.8 Exclusive, but there is no Rear DVD system. I bought it from Dubai
