Year: Any
Price: $28,000 - $33,000
Exterior Color: White or Grey...maybe Red
Interior Color: Oyster (cream), or Black.
Wheels: 20'', if not, I will upgrade.
Features/Packages: Sport Package (not critical, it does nothing mechanically)
Miles: Under 60,000



Weird quirks:
-I don't care about the Nav, but I do want Bluetooth streaming (not possible separately I think)
-I want the silver trim around the steering wheel, silver side steps on the exterior,
-Want Backup camera and Parking Distance Control
-A Spare tire would be nice. I don't like the idea of driving on a flat tire, but run flats are impressive.
-I used to love the Mocha colored interior, then then I saw it in a different lighting situation. Not as cool in different lighting. Weird huh?
-I don't care about a 3rd Row
-I want one in California, but I'm car crazy and will travel for a crazy deal.


Dude, I need a sweet car!

What you want would be easy to find around here (DC/Baltimore/Metropolitan area). The only thing that might be a little harder to find would be the 20" wheels, most of the X5's that I see come with the 18" wheels, so you'd probably have to add the 20's yourself.

Grey or White X5's with sport package, nav, black or oyster interior are a dime a dozen around these parts. Go to Cars.com or Autotrader.com and do a search for within 50 miles of Washington DC zip code 20001.

Heck you could always fly here - it's cheap from other major hub cities - buy what you want and then drive home. I did that with the 2005 X5 I bought several years ago. I had to have an Imola red one and the closest one I could find was in Connecticut so I took an Amtrak train up there, the dealer picked me up at the train station, took me to the dealership, we finalized all the paperwork and I drove it home later that afternoon. Easy!
