ORDERED: FULLY LOADED 2011 X5 3.5 Diesel...

We'll do less than 5000 miles per year in our X5 35d .. its more about a 'like' than a utility way of getting from A to B different for everyone I suppose ..

Good color choice. Post pics when you get it.

NOT a bad price with 4k miles...Too bad it is Silverstone Metallic...I've attached a screenshot of its options.

I do not get the side/top-view camera's according to this bulletin:

We have been informed by the factory that they are experiencing supplier restrictions regarding options 5DK (Side-view camera) and 5DL (Side and Top View Cameras). These options were included in ZDA (Driver Assistance Package), ZTP (Technology Package) and ZCE (Camera Package).

Now, the $80,275 number does NOT include the eco-credit/BMW CCA credit...But considering that I paid $70,370 for my fully-loaded 2008 X5 3.0si, this price (approx $74k over 2008) is fairly steep, but the goal is to recover that $4k difference in gas...

We spent $1,560 in gas in 2008 (don't drive too much) and averaged about 15 mpg. I expect the average to improve to 21 mpg (40% improvement).

Delivery: On/about four weeks from now...It's ready to go into production any day/hour.

Note attached print out for my 2011 X5 Diesel order...Have since deleted the Rear Entertainment Package after much-waffling. I have it now, on my 08 3.0si and it is bulky, easy to break (kids in car-seats can kick it) and, generally, an eyesore whether it is up or down.

I've (instead) opted for the eggregiously expensive BMW head-rest kit ($2,400 installed) as these will integrate into the headrests and (generally) look nicer and take up less space and be less-prone to being kicked or elbowed.

Good choice. The standard is system is ergonomically retarded

What about your 30 other BMWs? Nice website you have linked in your sig.

You had few imola BMWs. Did you consider vermillion red?

4.0 diesel: Can't figure out why we didn't get that engine??

Australia is not in or even close to Europe...

And if you export something to Europe from NA, you'll pay 15-35% tax on it at the dock, unless its a temporary importation.
