so which wood trim is standard? Dark Burl or Bamboo?...or Poplar?

My eyes are not young anymore... would you do me a huge HUGE favor and give me the costs if I tell you how I'd like it built?

I don't have the young eyes either ;)

Hey SuperGreg, I have an Excel spreadsheet that I created that has all the options for the 2008 X5 and the prices. I can't upload .xls files though. Suggestions? (Partial screen shot attached)


I guess SuperGreg has taken 5 minutes off.:popcorn: If anyone wants this spreadsheet, send me a PM with your email.

Dark Burl Walnut. No cost options are Dark Bamboo and Light Poplar.

SuperGreg has previously posted the Bamboo info and I just confirmed it in another post.
Bluetooth has not been answered yet and the dealer I spoke to doesn't know. I'm guessing it's either standard (but not listed anywhere) or part of BMW Assist. 2007 had "BMW Assist with Bluetooth". 2008 just says "BMW Assist".

I am thinking to skip Premium package (since just about everything I need is available in base car) and just pay for leather separately if Bluetooth is already in the car. I dont see a need to spend about $1300 difference for all options in performance package. They are all nice, but not enough of value to me.
Bluetooth is a requirement and if I have to take Assist, then might as well get the rest of the Premium package with all the goodies.

^ it's very easy to skip the premium package now.

For the extra $1300 (leather being the remaining cost of the package), you're getting ambient lights, garage door opener, compass, and bmw assist. Worth $1300? Not really. I really do want the ambient lights though and after spending $55k on a higher-class car, I may just have to do it anyway.

:thumbup: Hey rh71... I think I agree with you. At this point, sure they might not be worth it, but to add a nice touch... why the heck not, right?

Hmmm......am I looking at the right pricelist for the 2007? I am clicking on the Sticky that says 2007 pricing and I see that some of the options have increased in price now (see my first post in this thread).....yet more than one of you are saying that the only change is the price reduction on the ZPP.

Is the 2007 price list in the sticky not accurate?

ZPP Premium Package is the only significant change. There are other minor changes to HD Radio, Rear Climate, and Premium Sound based on what I remember. The 2007 prices that I've been using have been those on BMWUSA.com (when building a X5 4.8i).
