SOON to be new owner! 2005 4.8is!!
 

Flying to Atlanta from Florida to drive it home tomorrow!

LeMans blue with NAV. 36K miles.

Going from a Viper (Sunday car) and my Titan crew cab (daily driver) to ONE car. I think it can be the best of both worlds!!

I have owned other BMW's...

2002 M3 SMG
2005 M3 6 speed with a full Active Autowerke supercharger system (and a bunch of other stuff) that made 450 whp.

I can't wait to spend 400+ miles getting used to it tomorrow!!

I have learned a lot about them from this site! THANKS!!!

Enjoy it & welcome to the X5 Family :)

First off, congrats!!

Are you buying it from an individual or dealer??

Individual. He is a car enthusiast...Has / had quite a few high end cars...Did a Carfax, etc.

I tend to be trust worthy person...So far I have been OK...Fingers crossed!

it's going to be hard from going to a viper to a X5... X5 has a lot of power, but its no comparison to the Viper.

I put less than 2K miles on the Viper in a year...I never drive it. That was even TRYING to drive it. I put about 25K miles / year on the Titan. So really a comparison to the Titan...I know it is NO Viper, but it should be at somewhat fun!

Good choice of the 4.8is over the 4.4i. Congrats.
Remember your camera to document the trip and the X.

congrats! i hope you have fun!!!

Very nice!!!! I have the same exact one and just bought it as well. It's an amazing SAV. Where in Florida are you from?

Thanks! I am pretty excited. Never driven one. Only SUV I drive sometimes is the wifes Pilot! LOL

I live in Eustis...Office in Lake Mary. Outside of Orlando.

I know what some will say...Check the posts!!

BUT...I did...Seems more complicated than it may be??

I want to pair my iphone with the car for handsfree talk on my trip home...EASY to do or forget about it until I get home? I know in my Dad's Acura, it was EASY.

THANKS!!

OH...In case someone wants a Viper!! LOL

Well I welcome you to the X family here on the site and I wish you nothing but the best of luck with your X.

We all have our share of ups and downs with our Xs but overall I am sure after you mod it out to your liking, X5s are one of, if not... THE BEST SUVs out there.

Congrats!i just got mine!Hope your suspension is still fine! :)

Post up picture when u get it.!
