No, I made that mistake with my 2010 which is why I only had it for 16 months. This time I went with;

Navigation
BMW assist
rear climate
ipod adapter
heated front seats
roof rails
running boards

Didn't go with leather because leatherette is a lot easier with a 4 year old.

Ok, then the 2012 isn't $4500 more. Have you looked at the standard equipment list yet?

Good point. Roof Rails, Heated front seats, BMW assist and the ipod adapter will all be standard in 2012. The only options I would need with a 2010 are Nav and rear climate.

If I had waited for the 2012, a similar 2012 X35i Premium with Convenience, cold weather, running boards and Sirius would be $500 more for what I have on the 2011, although I would have gained comfort access.

Oh well, someone always has something better

So then it would be $500 less.

I wish there was some type of class action. If you read the material printed and online when LCI X5 was introduced, it stated LED corona rings. We got jipped.

They're headlights people...

and you can't even see them when you're doing what you intended with the vehicle, that would be driving it. Not exactly something that would keep me up at night I guess. Class action? Really now? I have to say it, after hearing this over and over, what a bunch of Nancies (no offense to those on the board actually named Nancy, for all others, well you know what you can do).

Jeesh, go enjoy your SUVs.


PS and yes I have an October build 2011 X5 35D that doesn't have LED corona rings and same goes for my 2011 E90 M3, no LED coronas either, boo-hoo. I think I'll go do some burnouts in protest, no wait a minute, that would actually be fun....hmmmmm...see ya later.
