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!

Here is what I found near DC: (50 miles near zip code 20006)
2012 BMW X5 xDrive35i, $34,995 - Cars.com
2011 BMW X5 xDrive35i Premium, $34,795 - Cars.com
2011 BMW X5 xDrive35i, $33,761 - Cars.com
2011 BMW X5 xDrive35i, $31,995 - Cars.com
2011 BMW X5 xDrive35i, $31,369 - Cars.com


This one I liked the most: Great looking interior
2011 BMW X5 xDrive35i Premium, $34,795 - Cars.com

The color combo I like the most is this:
2009 Used BMW X5 30i at Boston Foreign Motor Serving Allston, MA, IID 12555864

...but I think this is the leather that looks different when it's in different lighting.
For example:
2011 BMW X5 Navi,Sport pkg, Pano in La Porte TX from Benchmark

weird huh?, unless there was something different in the leather after the 2011 facelift that I don't know about.
