We pay half of what you do for these cars. :)

ok dont rub it in......lol;)

We do pay half as much....

lovely car by the way Jason, i bet you bitting at the bit to get it out for a spin, if shes driving that ..what are you driving?

I can't wait to drive it. I test drove a 4.8 sport with 19's and I loved it. I have repeatedly told her we are waiting till April and going to order one then. I keep telling her "let's look at the Mercedes or Audi because they are cheaper", just so I can keep some disinformation going. She told me Saturday, after we stopped by the dealer "just to look" that she decided she wanted the X5 and that was it. So, I am VERY excited to see her expression.

I have a 2007 530i with m-sport, black interior, NAV/SAT/iPod/L7, cold weather, comfort seats, step, 166 series M wheels.

I will upgrade to a 550i sport early 2009.

nice.....what u really want to do is get a really crappy car loan/demo and put it on the drive christmas day with a bow on it....then take a pic of her face :D

talking of bows are you going to bow it up ? ..how are you going to break it to her? key in a box? put it under the tree?

I am going to get the dealership to put a big red bow in the back of the SAV and will put it on there Christmas day.

As far as giving it to her, I am going to park it in my mom and dad's garage
(we spend Christmas there) and will have her go to the garage for supplies (read beer and wine) and she will find it in there. Their garage is seperate from the house and you can either access it from a side door or through one of the main bays. I am going to have my dad lock and "lose" the key to the door and then open the main door for her to find the new X5 in the garage.

I think it will work well...

Nice! I believe you have the plans set for capturing her reaction as well. :thumbup:

sounds like a great idea!!! get pics.... or a video if possible!!

we'll be waiting!!!

Very exciting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Definitely post pictures!!
