About to pull the trigger on X5..advice needed

[nwilliams]

Hey....glad to be here....I'm about to pull the trigger on a 2008 X5 4.8. My last car was a 2006 550i E60 and before that a 2007 530i E60 so this is my first E70 but not my first BMW!

I have two options to chose from and I was curious what your opinions were...

Option #1:
Alpine White 4.8 -24800 Miles- with Activity package (Aluminium running boards, headlamp washers, storage compartment package) and that's about it. It has the Panorama sunroof and Park distance control but that seems to be on all the 4.8's?

I love the AW color on beige interior but find the options very limited.

Option #2:
Bronze 4.8 -12400 Miles- with Premium package (Comfort access, lumbar support, Logic 7 hifi sound system / Sport package (high gloss shadow line, Anthracite roof liner, aluminium trimmed steering wheel) / USB audio integration, 20" 214 wheels.

The interior is tobacco.

This wouldn't be my first choice in color but after seeing it....it kinda grew on me.

My dilemma is that I prefer the look of the white X5 but prefer the option/wheel combo on the bronze....and half the mileage isn't a bad thing!

Do you guys think the options warrant going with a color that isn't doing it for me? To those with these options...are they worth it?

Otherwise...I go with the white...buy a set of 214's and forget about the cool options?

Any opinions?
