Finally Arrived !
 

Well after placing our order back in August we finally picked it up>

Some first impressions:

- Overall very pleased, almost got the RR sport sc but the technology, comfort and feel of the X just blows it away.
- Delivery was a breeze.
- Tons of electronics- need some time to figure everything out
- Love the V8 growl
- Brake dust is unreal - after 30 miles the wheels are filthy
- Sport package is great, love the steering wheel and seats
- Wish I opted for the 20"s, strictly aesthetics
- Backup camera is OK, not super clear though
- Bluetooth and ipod integration works great.
- Really like the Alpine White.
- Glad I didnt get the runnung boards, dont think they look as good on the white as some of the other colors.
-Ordered the rubber cargo mat and 20" flares.http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/9332/picture003bv2.jpg

Thanks to the forum for helping me make the decision.

nice ride! I've got the same color, but an 07, probably 3-4 weeks older than yours.. The 20's TOTALLY sets off the truck. The backup camera, as well as the screen res in general blows compared to Lexus. The weird thing is I get more compliments on the running boards than anything else.

looks good, I ordered white as well.
I like the running boards but didn't get them because it seems to make the car harder to get in/out of.

The X5 isn't so high up that you really need a step to get in/out. Also, was a little concerned about how they wear. We'll see, I can always get them later if I change my mind.

:thumbup: white looks good.

Your wheels look great. I see you didnt get the sport package, did you purchase your wheels from the dealer of aftermarket?

You might want to consider the 20" flares, they would look great with those momster rear tires.

[quote=08WhtX5]yeah.... traded in the stock 18's for the 20's at the dealer. i really need the flares or mud guards or something.... the wide tires kicks up crazy dirt and mud all over the truck :(. add the brake dust :(. Since getting the truck, the first thing ppl always ask is "did those running boards come with the truck or you buy them separate?" it's weird, I never even noticed them until ppl kept bringing it up.

I think the white looks great on the E70. Enjoy your fine ride :thumbup:

Congratulations on your new ride!

Congratulations! Looks great.
I've just ordered same wheels (style 211) for winter tyres. Well, not dissapointed they looks very hot!!!
Enjoy the ride!

awesome lookin x5 mate...white looks lovely!
