gen2c4s is on a distinguished road
Picked up X5 xdrive 3.0d m sport on Saturday.

Black Sapphire with Camel interior and Bamboo trim, 20" v spokes, media pack, electric tailgate, blinds, heated seats, xenons, usb, voice control.
We had the dealer fit the all gloss black kidney grill and it looks fantastic and really goes with the shodowline window surrounds. we had an 2006 e53 3.0d sport and compared to that the e70 feels very light.
Yesterday we travelled at 55mph - 60mph on A roads and managed 34 mpg but this soon dipped to 30mpg when the speed went up. My old e53 would only manage 26mpg in similar driving conditions.
The Camel interior is perfect as its the only light coloured interior that retains black carpets, ideal when lugging prams in and out of the boot although we have a load liner to make sure.
The seats feel bigger and more comfortable but it does not feel that much larger than the e53 although the boot seems a little longer. The navigation and new idrive is great and relatively easy to use although im not convinced about the voice control just yet as it seems to get confused when using the basic commands. The ride is quite firm but absorbs the bumps really well although I suspect putting non RFT on would make the ride better.
Overal after 2 days with the car we are really enjoying it and cant wait for our trip to Austria in Feb to come around so we can test it on some snow.
I will try and get some pics posted up next weekend.
