Pulled the trigger on a 4.8
 

:wow:, can't believe I actually did it. I was just gonna go in and check it out. It had everything I wanted and actually didn't not have the extras I really don't need. I just had to compromise with the color. Its a Black Sapphire which wasn't my first choice but 12k under MSRP sealed it. Just took delivery last night and will post some pics soon.

Welcome to the ranks! You're not going to believe the difference in handling. Never mind the pics, go :zoom: and report back. Congrats.

Congrats. 12K under MSRP? :thumbup:

Congrats! You'll love the differences. Gotta ask though, $12k under MSRP for a 2009 brand new? Killing me!

Yeah what were the packages you got, how much for your e53 trade, etc.

I still have my 53, I traded my E320. I'm still burnt out on this whole ordeal took 6 hrs to complete. I was hungry as hell.

Yeah it can be long sometimes. What were the packages, options that you got ? And did you get the 2.9% financing ?

3.9% does not apply on the 4.8. Prem, Cold, 3rd row, tow etc. no nav, I'm gettin my own.

The 2.9% should be good on 4.8s through June 1:

BMW North America

Tamb!

Congrats and best of luck with the new 4.8!!

Rich:thumbup:

Congrats about your choice, you wont be dissapointed about this model:thumbup:

Man this Sap Blk is starting to grow on me. I think its better than the Jet Blk because it has the metallic glitter and help to hide dust. Went back to the dealer and saw another black one with 21" star spoke, it was sweet. Tires were 325/30R and 285/35F, thats the set up I want, I think its style 119 not sure though. Pic coming soon ok, its raining here right now.

I'm starting to believe it...:wow:

Congrats on the ride...sounds like you got one hell of a deal...

Thanks dude... like I said, I couldn't afford to pass it up....;)

Sapphire Black: :thumbdown
Jet Black: :thumbup:

Some stuff i've done so far:
OEM RB, clear markers, CF pillars, blacked out tow kit.

Looks like you chromed the wheels---how much ? And you put a 4.8 badge on the trunk lid ?

They are Chrome 209's and yup i put a badge on the trunk lid cuz' lately it seems like someone always wants to race me and I don't like that. I put it back there as a deterant.

Does anybody know the exact Hub Bore size for the front and rear wheels? Just doing some homework for her shoes.

Ooopps got it!!! 74.1:thumbup:

nice truck...... did you pay extra for those chrome wheels? some gun metal 215's all the way...

i some chrome 215's.. new wheels and new tires for $1200

Thanks bro' No extra cost for the wheels thats how the dealer had it. Are you sayin' you have some 215's for sale? Are they 20 or 21's? Sent me some pics coz' i'm interested:thumbup:

Congratulations on the E70. May I ask how much.

I've been eye-balling this 2007 BMW X5 4.8is Space Gray Metallic with a Black Nevada Leather interior. It's listed at $39K and only has 26k miles. Imagine how it would look with the Style 214's w/Vredestein Ultrac rubbers currently on my E53...........

FULLY EQUIPPED WITH COLD WEATHER PKG, PREMIUM SOUND PKG, PREMIUM PKG, 18" WHEELS with ALL SEASON TIRES, COMFORT ACCESS SYSTEM, 3RD ROW SEATING, 3RD ROW CLIMATE CONTROL, REAR CLIMATE PKG, TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR, ROOF RAILS, SATELLITE RADIO, PANORAMIC MOONROOF, BMW ASSIST, AUTO DIMMING MIRRORS, HEATED STEERING WHEEL, 3-STAGE HEATED SEATS...

I have been looking for an E70 with almost the same spec as above, and the price is okay for $39K... im considering trading in my E53 for an E70, i need 7 seats...

:wow: 39K for a 4.8 with only 26Kmi. Whats there to talk about? Quit eye-ballin' and jump on it. CPO right? No regrets....Guaranteed;)

Pull that trigger too Jay...time for a fresher look:thumbup:

i have been thinking the same thing, think i will wait for the M X5 to make the leap...:thumbup:

Big Baller get your 90k ready;)

It's not CPO but at that price, who cares, right!!

What do you guys think of the 09 e70 3.0 diesel? May have sold my e53 and I'm thinking of leasing one.

Tambalong i thought you hated chrome? LOL congrats though on the great deal..

Thanks Rasta, I never said i hated chrome, not all chromes look good. Here in Ca chrome(or some chrome) is somewhat a standard for upgraded wheels. In SoCal we can get away with it coz it doesn't rain here too much and no harsh winter snow. I noticed not many of our buddies from east coast like chrome. I wouldn't get chrome 214,215 or 239 though, try keeping that clean. I can live with the ferric grey but despise the all black wheel look. I like contrast...stay :cool:

I hear you.. great looking X. The 215s will look great on your X.. the silver 215s.

Thats what i'm eyeballing now:D, but not quite convinced yet so still hesitating.

great choice congratulations! i took a e70 3.0 for a test drive today, the 4.8 would DEF be better

Congrats on your purchase..!
