ORDERED: FULLY LOADED 2011 X5 3.5 Diesel...

[inlacal]

$80,275 is the magic number. Alpine White/Black Perf. Nevada with Dark Bamboo Trim.

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.
