MOST important accessory/option..
 

While contemplating selling the X and getting an E90, (and subsequently withdrawing the idea), I was wondering, what is the "MUST HAVE" accessory or option that you guys could just not live without?! Is it Nav, Pano, Running Boards, Xenons, etc..?

Ill start. Lets put it this way. I knew I liked the X before I drove it, and when I met my dealer for the first time to go on the test drive, I said "Excuse me for a minute", and came back with all weather mats in a complementary BMW bag.

She said, "Sir, You havent even driven the automobile yet!"...I told her, "It doesnt matter...This comes first!"

So, theres my $.02. I would die without them... :dunno:

NEXT?

Sport suspension.
BR,md

Sport suspension.

driving ability :thumbup:

ooh, tough one between sport suspension/sport styling & Nav. I don't have Nav but i'll sure as hell never buy another car without it. Get lost using Mapquest almost everytime in damn North Jersey!

nav, all the rest u can mod later for not that much

NAV! I waited to find the perfect X with NAV. I use it all the time and recommend it as a must for anyone! :D

:iagree:

i waited 4 quite a while b4 buying my X. personally, b4 buying mine, i needed to have NAV, the Titanium Interior Trim and of course the 4.6 engine. :thumbup:

That's a tough one... after having an e46 coupe for years, I had lots of time to contemplate what I REALLY wanted in my next Bimmer.

The No.1 would have to be Sport Package (incl. sport suspension as well as the fantastic sport seats!), but Nav is a close runner up for me. :thumbup:

50-50 with the Sports Pack and Nav.

close 3rd is the top notch leather ;)

4th is PDC

1st: panarama moonroof
2nd: sports pack
3rd: NAV
4th: Adaptive bi-xenons

Cheers,

1st) Sirius Satellite Radio
2nd) Navigation
3rd) Sport Suspension

I keep hearing "sport suspension/package" from a lot of people. Is this something that can be retro'd on or just have to go and get the ACSnitzer suspension setup to "replicate" the feel and tighten up the suspension?

1- Heated steering wheel
2- Self dimming rear view mirror
3- Sunshades

I think Navigation is the most important as must to have accessory for me.

Sport
Xenon
Nav

1: Heated steering wheel
2: Servotronic Steering
3: Nav
4: Valentine V1 w/ Stealth 1
5: Comfort Seats

1. NAV

2. BT/VR/snap-in

:bustingup :thumbup: Good One,H!

1. the manual transmission
2. the manual transmission
3. the manual transmission

I spent a lot of time researching vehicles and once you reach a certain price range the bells & whistles are pretty much the same. Yes the X5 has an amazing command of the road but so did the Range Rover. It, however didn't make the cut due to poor quality control history. Only the X and the Cayanne offered a manual transmission. For several reasons I couldn't even bring myself to the point of entertaining a Porsche suv/sav. So the X5 was not only the best choice it was the only choice for me. :thumbup:

Sports pack(with the leather sports seats)
Nav 16.9(so you can add dvd,tv++++ at a later date)
Sunshades for the rear cargo area
Running boards

Uh... actually servotronic (road speed-sensitive) steering is not available on the X5. :tsk: (It's an option on the X3) Engine speed-sensitive steering is standard on the X5. However, in real-world use, there's really not that much difference...

NAV is definitely a must have. I refused to purchase another 50k plus BMW without it. Sure we have all gotten around for years without it, but with high gas prices and every road in Texas under construction, man I can't function without my NAV BABE......Phil

1. nav
2. sports package
3. pdc
4. running boards (soon to be put on)
