Picked up my new X5 Yesterday
 

This is my 3rd X5; the 1st was a 2005 4.4i w/sport, premium, etc; the 2nd was a 2008 3.0si w/premium, technology, etc; the new one is a 2011 X5 35i Premium sapphire black w/tobacco with the following Options:

Convenience Package - Technology Package - Running boards - Heated front seats - Head-up Display - Logic7 sound system with Surround Sound and Digital Sound Processing - side view cameras - cargo cover - space saver spare - smart phone integration - head-up display.

Of the 3 X5's, this one by far is the nicest, the new engine and transmission is amazing. The others I bought off the lot, this one I ordered. I placed the order December 11 and the truck arrived at the dealer on February 5 (exactly 8 weeks). Purchased from Courtesy Motors in Chico, California, my salesman was Cedric Lafaix :thumbup:. This is my 12th car purchase and Cedric made it by far my best experience buying a car.

Congratulation! Sounds like you are definitely a bimmer bum. I myself just took ownership one week ago a 2009 BMW X5 35d (with only 6300 miles on it). This is my first BMW, and I lost some amenities from my last two vehicles. Such as NAV, blue tooth, and Sirrius. But, I must say that everyday, that I am finding our more and more of that true European engineering. From the ultra clean diesel to the lighting and knobs.

I am willing to sacrifice a little for a lot.

Congrats to both of you!!! I have 2 vehicles and find myself driving the X5 everyday. Wish the other would sell...have it on a swapalease...Lexus 250hs....ugh!

Congrats, this is my first x5 and i'm amazed by it...did 1.5hr drive through the twisties/mountains last night...flippen fabulous....

Chico huh....graduated CSU in 94...great school/town....go get that x5 on river road (Hann Road off the i5 north...cant remember where it comes out in chico..been too long)..

This thread is useless without pix.....;)

I disagree. Pictures of yet another copy would not change a thing.

I guess I can take a few snap shots. It is difficult in the Northeast to keep it clean, but I do have a new coat of wax on her. BMW gray, panoramic sunroof, and of course the diesel.

I thought I would post some pics of the interior, I had never seen this color before ordering. It really is a nice color.

Nice !!!

Are the seats leatherette or leather?
