It is a very cool color. Is yours the 3.0? I almost bought an 01 4.4 in White but....couldn't pass the low miles of this one.

Mine's a 4.4, but the 3.0 is a great engine too. I'll bet you have no problem towing your boat.

:xoutpost: and congrat for your new ride :thumbup:

Congratulations and welcome to the board! Post some pics when you get it. :thumbup:

Yes.......welcome to X5 World and let's see some pics (inside & out) when you get it.......

Welcome and Congrats on the new X5!

2006 X5,3.0d,Sapphire Black Met.,Sport Pack and etc.

Ok, I got it and I'm not happy. Pics below at this link. It is very unclean on the inside and the dealer states they detailed it and are now blaming the condition on the shippers. Don't think so. The leather on the drivers seat (pictures don't do it justice) is so dirty I can't clean it or it is worn off. The salesman spent about 15 minutes telling me it is my problem and that the shipper is responsible and they detailed the car twice...anything to not take ownership. Then the final insult...because I'm in Idaho and not New Jersey they can't do anything...because if I was closer I could bring it back and have it detailed. He insisted I should have flown there to pick it up. Now I probably should have or asked for more pictures. I know I should have been more thorough so I acknowledge my part. But I'm soooo bummed out.
