Day 1 impressions of the new X5 50i...
Coming from a 2009 4.8 Sport, the difference is night and day. We don't even miss our old X5 one bit -- even my wife said this shortly after leaving the dealership. For me, my main concern would be if it would satisfy me enough to leave my NA V10 at home. Although it will be a tough decision each weekend, it does! I still prefer my M over the X when driving solo, but knowing that we can take this new truck on family getaways with the kids and I'll enjoy driving it, makes me really happy. I love the paddle shifters too -- took long enough for BMW to get this right! Although some might think this is minor, I live off my SMG paddles on the M, so this is the only way I'm used to driving the cars. So awesome! The Evolve tune will be completed in 2 weeks and I'm really looking forward to seeing how much more I'm going to love this new addition to the family. Thanks BMW! Cheers!

She should be back from surgery in 2 weeks. With the LCI Aero Kit and the additional cosmetic changes, I'm really excited to see what she's going to look like. Pix to come. Stay tuned...

Congrats! I am considering a 5.0 as fuel economy is surprisingly similar to the 3.0is, and fuel economy is the only reason I went for the 3.0 not 4.8.

I currently own 2007 4.8i, which i totally love, could you please tell us what makes the difference between LCI and pre-LCI so huge? I absolutely love LCI e70, but it's about twice the price of my car so I'm not going in for it yet, but would like to know what are the major advantages over the old model. Since you've had both of them. Thanx in advance!
