Drove the 5.0i today

Bigtop,

Great choice on colors! I love mine, had it for about 2 months now. Very smooth with the 20" rims, not too rough at all. Very quick too, like a muscle car from the 60s! Enjoy

I would love to know if this is availible for the X5.

I agree with many statements above about the new 2011 X5 35i not feeling anywhere near as quick as the old 4.8. Definite lag and I drive a 335xi which has almost no lag. It has got to be all that extra weight....

I loved the 50i...great exhaust note too. Much different than the 550i as someone mentioned above.

Trying to decide on ZSP vs ZMP packages...love the M wheel and I think I would like adaptive drive, but the $$ and lack of heated steering wheel make me pause...

On my current 07 E70 I have the platinum Bronze Metallic with tabacco leather and brown carpet. With the multi-contour seat option it reduced the leather color options. Also where I live the color of the dirt is light and sandy which shows up more easily on dark brown or black so I decided on the sand beige, although I think I prefer the colors you selected.

Thanks Bigtop, but all our beautiful looking colors. The sand beige is very nice, sat in an X5M with that interior, with bamboo wood.
