That actually doesn't sounds like a bad deal. Assuming there are no issues with it when you arrive, I would jump on it. Of course you should try and work a couple of grand off of it, but overall,...

With those choices, it's got to be the X5d. I also test drove the Q5 and really liked the car like feel and sporty acceleration. But the longer I sat in it, the more cramped I felt. I'm 6' 1" and...

I agree! It's awesome to be able to adjust the 2nd row seats back and forth when ordered with the 3rd row. It's also split, so you can still use 1 of the back seats and still have some room left for...

After doing a bit more looking around on the Net, it looks as though the pre-2012 Base audio system had 12 speakers, and they dropped that down to just 10 speakers for the 2012 Base system?

That's odd. BMW indicates that there was a change between 2011 and 2012 model years for the Base Audio System. Do you mean that it sounds the same to you, or is it exactly the same?
