My order for the BMW X5 M50d has been confirmed and set down for May production. Ended up that the extra options came to $29k making the X5 retail cost with towbar just on $190,000 delivered.
That's about $13k more than my last one, considering the AUD is higher than the US dollar and when I bought my last M-Sport X5 the dollar was only around $0.86 cents to the US dollar, they are not getting any cheaper.
That's about $100k more than a standard X5.
Looking at it closely I suppose I have spent about an extra $8k on some options like going to the High End Audio System over the HiFi System Professional option, DAB Radio, Side View and the Active Cruise with collision warning etc.
Although I did not have to purchase this time the Third Row Seats which is a saving but that gets offset because you get the 4 Zone Air-con, so one offsets the other.
You do get Paddle Shift's and the SPORTS 8 Speed Gearbox, not the standard 8 Gearbox and you get a M button on the Steering Wheel. Looks like the have dropped the SS Pedal Box, so I will need to buy that thru Spare Parts again, there was talk it would come standard on the M50d.
You also get M lettering on the door sills and M50d signage on the intrument cluster, gear shift, steering wheel
Anyway damn expensive truck?
