The 2010 X5 35D is in my possession!

Hey Everyone,

Just wanted to let everyone know that I picked up the new ride late yesterday afternoon. I forgot to bring my camera but I snapped some pics from my Iphone. Just a teaser.



I'll be taking more pics this weekend when I start the modding process. Stay tuned.

Intial thoughts: Love the technology package, love the sound of the diesel engine and the torque it provides, sports seat are comfortable, love the new idrive, my color combo looks awesome vermillion/tobacco/dark bamboo...very rich, overall im a happy owner.

What I miss is the ambient lighting inside the cabin. Yeah...I was spoiled with the E93..

There is ambient lighting on the X5, are you saying that the E93 is different ?

Yup, it’s different on the E90-93. The doors from the inside have LEDs along the door that emits a red glow, like under cabinet lighting. It’s very soothing and stays on the whole entire time when you drive or when you get in and out of your car. It looks awesome at night.

The E93 could be ordered with a factory installed LSD dispenser, by which it's driver could take hits of LSD without removing his/her hands from the steering wheel.

Due to cost cutting measures this optional feature was removed from the 2010 E70 models.

The option will be brought back in 2011, in an attempt to convince drivers that their new X5's are actually nice to look at, when compared to the 2010 models.
