Whenever I hear that, my radar goes up. I usually see "loyal bmw customers" paying more that other customers!

2011 there is no credit, just to confirm.

To those saying "as long as the 'paperwork' is done in 2010" you will be OK....

this is the IRS- so as with any fraudulent transaction you declare on your taxes you do so at your own risk. You need to take possession of the car in 2010. If you can get the dealer to back date it and have it show a 2010 delivery, give it a shot. But recognize the final arbiter isn't BMW, but is the IRS.

I'm sure you're going to LOVE your X5 35d. My wife and I have noticed the funniest "problem" with ours...it completely masks the true speed your traveling at. I'm not talking "feels like 50 when you're going 60", more like "whoops, was I really doing 95?"

After she found herself guilty as well, she turned to me and said "Okay, it's either going to be a massive speeding ticket, forcing ourselves to always use speed control, or a radar detector..." Guess which way we're leaning?!?

Funny you say this. In my 2010 750i, I never really went over the speed limit much. In my 35d, it is SO hard to do the posted speed. For me, it is one of those, I'm doing 50 in a 35?

Yeah, I had this experience as well....I actually set the iDrive to alarm when I hit 75. Annoying at times, but it is really helpful (for me). Lotsa CHP sitting on the 85 and 280 with Lidar, so I figured a V1 wouldn't be much help.....

Well - production was finished before the new year and I still don't have it delivered...

How many "X's" are sitting and waiting to get on trucks in Carolina right now?

When I am on long trips driving interstate, I set the alarm about 5 mph over the speed limit. It seems to go off every 10-15 minutes and my lady friend says "it's singing you song again..." Eventually I give-up and use the cruise control...
