Just Ordered It! Thank you for the good advice
 

I just ordered my 2012 X5 50i. Thanks to all who gave me advice on choice of options. I was torn between active ventilated seats and M-Sport, since you cannot have both in the 2012 for unknown reasons. Based on advice from this forum, I went with the Sports. Here's what I chose:

Black sapphire metallic
Cinnamon brown Nevada
Dark burl walnut
M Sport package
20" wheels
Adaptive drive
Multi-contour seats
Premium package
Premium sound package
Technology package
Space saver spare
BMW apps

The dealer told me that I could expect it to arrive by the end of April. Pictures will follow.

Congrats....You're going to have one hell of a ride...

Good luck with the wait :D

Congrats on that ride, you will love it! We will be hearing from you in late april/early march about the uncomfortable seats and the stone chips on your m-sport package : )
