just got a 4.8i
 

hey everyone.. im new on the board. just picked up my 4.8i today. black on black... i was really lucky. i went to the dealer yesterday, apparently someone just cancelled a hour ago so i got it..full options.. just wanna say its a GREAT car.. cant wait until the break in is over and really test the car.. but so far.. breaks are GREAT.. the handling is great.. personally i would say it handles like a 3 series. ill upload pics after i take some which will prob be sometime tonight.. the car is AWESOME

anyways. happy to join you guys

Congrats !!!

Cant wait for pics ......
Please take some of 3rd row and 2nd row too to help me decide :thumbup:

Welcome to the forum! Congrats on your new ride.:thumbup:

:xoutpost:

congrats on the new X! can't wait to see pictures!

thanks.. one thing i dont like about the new x5 is that the bonnet is no longer metal.. apparently its now fiberglass or something which means you could no longer wax it like you would b4 as the waxing would get too hot and might warp the bonnet... i dont know how true that is.but thats what my dealer told me..

Aluminum hood.

:welcome: aboard, this is a great group of people.

if anyone want a review. here are a few things i noticed about the car
1.. the camera is useless at night.. i can barely see anything on the camera at night.. the one on my lexus is much better
2.. x5 feels much bigger then the previous generation, realised this while i was trying to park
3.. the headup display works great, however you cant have it positioned too high on the glass because you cant see it if its where another car's back lights
4... the handling is great. i drove around corners quite quickly, and the car barely moved sideways at all.. i do have the sports option so i have the active suspension too so that might have made some difference
5.. the break works great..
6.. the car dont accelerate much until you get to 2000rpm and then the car accelerate really well

well thats what i ve noticed so far.. so yeah.. im goin to take pics tonight. if anyone have any requests post it up and i will take them too

Photo requests:

2nd row from front seats and also from side.
If you have 3rd row then the 2nd row fully reclined and max distance for legroom.

Otherwise anything else is pleasing to the eye :)
