I Can't wait to be an x5 owner!

Ok it's been a bit since I updated this. After a bit of issues with the financing, I was able to take delivery on 9-20. Drove her the hour and a half home to my house from the dealership and had my wife hop in and take her for a spin around the neighborhood for a while....

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT

Umm WTF?!? Friday (thankfully the wife was off of work to take the day off before our 1 week vacation) the wife took it back to the dealership and they were quite embarrassed to say the least. They took it right into service and gave her a loaner. Bottom line, emissions sensor and they had to order it but it was safe to drive so they gave it back. Flew off for my vacation Saturday and came back with an appointment to put the parts in early Monday morning. Another wasted day later, and I was finally able to have the SAV for a full day to myself yesterday.

Things I totally dig:
Heated:steering wheel, seats
Ventilated seats
Torque
Giant sunroof
Rain Sensing Wipers (although i sorta wish they were just on all the time rather than having to turn them on manually)
Better gas (fuel.. gotta get used to saying fuel) mileage than my 05 v6 mustang convertible
WAY better fuel mileage than my 97 V8 F-150

Things that make me go Huh?!?:
iDrive (2009)
White LED door handle lights but yellow license plate light?
Voice Commands - seems like it's not very functional other than a quick way to bypass iDrive to say iPod.
Brake dust

Things that I'm highly amused with:
Ass Shiatsu button.
The confused look on the attendant's face while i drive around looking for the diesel pump as he is pointing to the open gas pump.

CLASSIC!
