:iagree: :confused:

I agree the ad is not well written. in fact most ads for many vehicles are overblown but Hold on now....... The ad dosen't say "for the first time in 2008 the x5 is offered with a 3rd row seat" :rofl:

I just had a quick look at the configurator and although it does not show the power tailgate, other things seem to be correct for both the 3.0si and 4.8i. The pricing for the options (e.g. Premium Pack,etc.) is the correct 2008 pricing. There are no new interior colors listed because "officially" there are no new interior colors......although some people have been able to order Saddle Brown.

Anybody knows details about the Efficient dynamics technology features which are standard for the European X5's?

When I try to build a 3.0 X5 I still get the 2007.

should I even bother venturing to the accessories section of the build your own?

EDIT>>> didn't think so.

It appears the X5 "Bulid you Own" section on BMWUSA.com has finally been updated for the 2008 MY

Where can i find a MY08 Brochure?

> should I even bother venturing to the accessories section of the build your own?

Nothing there yet.

I always find it to be an interesting approach to business when you go to a company like BMW (e.g., the accessories section) and essentially say, "I have money burning a hole in my pocket and would like to give it to you. can you tell me how I could do that?," and the implied response is "Sorry, we're too busy. Keep coming back and someday we'll find the time to tell you."

An odd business model to say the least.
