It was only a matter of time
 

So....today it finally happened. I was going about my business this morning heading to the local breakfast spot, enjoying a rare 80 degree day here in buffalo ny, windows down haha had to set the tone. Then it happened! An alpine white 2011 x5 50i pulled up along side me.:wow:I felt like I was the kid wearing old sneakers on the first day of high school ! I am of course being sarcastic but I have to know...anyone else getting the itch they need to upgrade sooner than planned?
PS I am completely aware how silly this sounds:thumbup:

Lol, i know what you mean. The new x5's are floating around here and i like the way they look. But i also love the way my X looks. But i still love my X. All i have to say is that as the New X's start to take the road the more unique my X will be, I am still modding it and Def keeping this for a while.

Good point. Glass half full mentality, I like it!

I know what you mean to a degree, but I still like our aging ride. We bought our e53 4.4i sport package pretty much simultaneously to the e70's rolling out. For me it is all about the sport package on the premium models. I personally still like our 02 4.4i sport over any stock 3.0 e70's and the non-sport 4.8i e70's. I personally think the premium sport package cars will look newer much longer.

Not at all. I still get the comment. "That is one bad X5" I smile and say thanks.

with the aero kit still feeling special... surprised not many have it.

then again, I notice not many fellow E70 drivers even look at you either...

I somehow got lucky. My lease on the 07 ended yesterday and the new one showed up at 6pm :) Didnt need to rationalize anything this time

Yeah my lease is going to be up august 2nd. So it is almost time to place an order if I want a 2011 x5. I just thought it was a funny moment I felt like sharing! If I go for a 2011 I would probably stay with AW and go cinnamon, since it is my preferred combo. I am hesitant to pull the trigger this time because of my pathetic obsession with change.:D
