two questions on 3.0 M option..

[X5-Carbon]

I sort of agree with AwesomeM3, although NO X5 looks like an Aztek or Hyundai (but I think he was just kidding). I like the black plastic on white X5s - maybe the contrast is what's attractive to me, but I really do like the monochrome treatment that the M Sport package provides. I have only seen one other M Sport in the Atlanta area, although I'm sure more exist. This adds a little bit of exclusivity to the vehicle, IMHO.

I haven't seen an e70 that I don't like. And I definitely wouldn't call an X5 a station wagon - even though that term doesn't offend me. I like a number of Audi's Avant offerings.
