New member, just ordered 2012 X5d

[andy727]

I am a new member to the forum, new to the X5, but not a stranger to BMW. I currently have an e60 m5, Infinity qx56, and my wife drives a Cooper S turbo 6 speed. I'm trading the m5 for the x5 and we'll likely trade the qx56 for an e36 m3 or something similar. This will be a fun car that I can play with for my son when he turns 16 in a year. I am a BMW and Porsche Club racer currently on leave of absence to focus on raising my children, building my business, and riding motorcycles. Riding motorcycles is so much less demanding than club racing cars! I do have a track bike, but no desire to go wheel to wheel racing with it. Since I no longer have any race cars, I sold my F250PSD and have been using the qx for towing needs. The x5 will take up towing duties from here, for the bikes and probably a car every now and then.

I am actually very excited to join the world of the x5, it is a cool truck and upon reading this forum, it seems like a good group of people.

Now that the background info is out of the way, here is my x5 info. I happen to have a close friend who works at BMW of Dallas and got me a great deal on a 2012 build. I am expecting to pick it up mid October.
