Newbie Here
 

Hey everyone. Just wanted to introduce myself... I just picked up a 2007 X5 4.8is. The dealership had to locate the vehicle because they did not have the options and color I wanted. I guess they found one in MD and I am from Boston. So today hopefully I find out if they can get it or not, otherwise, they will have to order one from the factory. Either way, I have been part of the MB family for many years. I just got out of an E55. I have a 2007 328xi coupe and I absolutely love the handling. So I decided to go with the X5 as my E55 replacement...

The color combination I got was Alphine white on Gray. Interior color is not what I wanted but that was the only one available with the options I want.

The options are:

Sport Package
20" Y spoke Alloy
BMW Assists
PDC
Premium Package
Cold weather Package
Rear Climate Package
Technology Package
Comfort Access
Pano Roof
Third Row Seating - Something I didn't want but came with anyways.
Premium Sound Package
SAT radio

MSRP came out to be $71,250

After all these options the one option i was dissappointed on was that it didn't come with a 300.00 running boards option! I was soo dissappointed. How much do you think the dealer would charge to put on?

I am extremely excited and these are going to be the longest days of my life until I get the car into my hands! Ohh the anticipation!

I'll post pictures once I receive my car but for now I will be lurking and learning about this beautiful machine!

Thanks!

Welcome Christian.

Thanks!

:xoutpost: :wavey:

Welcome, Christian!

I think you probably can get the running boards installed as an accessory. I don't know if it'll cost more than $300 though since dealers do charge for installation.

Thanks guys... I have some bad news... They were not able to allocate the X5 in MD so now they are seeing if they can get a car in mid production. So its at least a month wait... Damn this stinks!

I wanted the car built to my specs. so I ordered it, you should do the same. It's worth the wait having it the way you want it.

welcome! Always great to see more E70 owners!

So, the saga continues.. The dealership that I work with did not have in stock nor could they allocate what I wanted so I put a deposit down to order one from the factory with the options I wanted. In any case, another dealership called me, whom I have been working with prior to the last dealership and said they just got in a Saphire Black on Beige FULLY loaded. So I basically took it... Here are the options:

X5 4.8i - 54,500.00
Black Sappire Metallic
Sand Beige Nevada Leather
Cold Weather Package - 900.00
Premium Package - 2650.00
Premium Sound Package - 1800.00
Rear Climate Package - 700.00
Sport Package - 3600.00
Technology Package - 2600.00
Comfort access System - 1000.00
Running Boards - 300.00
20 inch wheels - 950.00
Multi contour seats with lumbar support - 1200.00
Heated Rear seats - 350.00
3rd Row Seats - 1200.00
Sat Radio - 595.00
Rear Entertainment - 1800.00

Total 74145.00
Destination Charge 775.00
Total suggest price - 74.920.00

I am very happy with the options. I should be picking it up on Thursday. Ill post pictures once I get it home!

Thanks

Christian
