New X - with pictures and questions
 

Hello everybody

My wife and I picked up our X a week ago. What a nice car. We started doing research about half a year ago - and by research I mean reading these boards :) and gazing mesmorized at the X5 brochure while we waited for the lease on our Ford Escape to run out.

What we got: 2006 X5 4.4i, Toledo blue with Trufflebrown interior, Premium, Sport, Cold Weather and Rear Climate packages with Comfort Seats, Heated Steeringwheel and the iPod link.

In the first week we had it we've done 700 miles - and we enjoyed every one of them. This car has been everything we hoped it would be.

Only one thing has struck us as weird - and I hope its just a User Error - when we are done using the computer for setting speed limit, distance and so on - we cant seem to turn it off. What I've been doing is to turn it to Audio and turning off the stereo to make all the options go away (so it just shows the time). Is this a case of not reading the manual well enough - or is there really no way to turn it off other than through the stereo?

Anywho - here is a few pictures - enjoy :)

very nice...let the mods begin :)

Welcome to the world. Good luck with your X. You're going to be grinning for awhile. :)

Welcome and have fun!!! Wait til the mod bug bites you.

Its already bitten :rolleyes: We are moving to Chicago however - until that is done with, there probably wont be any modding going on :)
