First. Thank you all for the kind words. Especially the "sick" and "twisted" words

Please forgive the delayed gratitude; I try to stay in character as long as possible.
FWIW i almost deleted this thread this AM when it had garnered over 100 views and not a single reply. I was beginning to think that Funf Dreisig AG had worn out its welcome or I had pushed the double
entendre a bit to far or both. So a special thanks to XXX555 for breaking the ice.

p.s. for all those who are taking delivery of their delayed 2010 X5s (and X6s) in the coming days....
How do you know that BMW Desist was not installed during the delay?
Or for that matter, how do any of us know that "Meltdown" is not the beta / 'sleeper code' installed on all previous E70 X5s?
