I saw the new X5 at the NY Auto Show. That new brown color is really nice. And while I didn't like the fog lights in the pictures I saw, it looked better in person. One thing that I couldn't tell was whether it had the LED angel eyes. They had the new 5 series and slightly refreshed 3 series and they both have them.

Have any of you guys in US driven the 50i yet? just curious about performance as I'm thinking of trading my 2010 35d later in the year .... does it feel like a 5.5 sec 0-100km car? (should be about 0-60 5.3 sec in US terms) ...just curious as people are placing orders but perhaps have not driven ?

ok thanks ....
will be very interested to get your views .... the 50i could turn out to be real bang-for-buck as far as BMW's by the kilo go ...
I know people are falling in love with Diesel ..but I just dont do enough Miles to really care to be honest ... having two young kids has denied me the 911 for a few more years ..so I'm thinking that at least 50i would let me have some performance fun for now .. speaking of performance ..any of you guys ordering Adaptive Drive ?

I typically go for a v6 but with the lease programs being what they are, and the appeal of the twin turbo v8 - I decided to go for that this time. The lease payment delta was not outrageous like it was the previous times I tried to compare.
I wouldnt go for diesel b/c I dont drive enough to care about its MPG, I dont care for the distinct sound it makes, it doesnt appeal to me for 2011 being that is seems outdated compared to the 40d and I lease my suvs and the diesel program is very bad. Side note, I have a 7 and 4 year old... a car seat and booster seat in the 911 is all you need. They actually prefer the 911 over the x5 but they only get to ride in it rarely (nothing farther then a few minutes away - ice cream, beach, park etc) so maybe that's the reason.

Thanks for that ...
My kids are 5 and 3 so still small enough to get into a 911 ... but we wanted something for weekend trips and potential ski trips etc ..in saying that we're so busy working that weekends end up just catching up on house duties etc ... I know if I had 911 then I'd be more tempted to take for weekend drives
 911's here are about $150k AUD secondhand (2007 type model) - not cheap ... then again 50i will end up pretty close to that by the time onraod is factored in ... perhaps I just wait for 135i M and buy a X1 for family runabout ? that way I get both !! lots to think about ....

Paspar, when are you able to pick up your 50i? I won't be able to pick up my car until early June (sigh), even though its just about finished and heading to VPC soon. I just couldn't get time off to make the trip for the pick-up. If you pick up your car in the next 2-3 weeks, snap some pics and post please!!

early June here as well. Scheduled to complete late may + transport to NJ...
Been trying to get ZAP + 20 added and no go on the 20's right now for some reason - my car isnt in prod yet so my CA will try next week. Anyone picking up an 11 should snap some pics - we should get a thread going for just that
