X5 noob
 

Hello, I am new to Xoutpost. I placed in order on a 2012 X5 35i on Friday, and have a build date set for 6/14. Its a Sport Activity w/M-Sport. Sapphire Black, Oyster Navada, and Dark Bamboo.

I am looking forward to 4-doors, and better all around capability than my 135. My decision came down to the X5 or CPO '10 M3 Sedan. I wanted something roomier after an '08 135, '06 325. My wife had an '07 X3 that I really liked, that she traded for a '10 GLK (a very disappointing car, now she has a '11 Explorer-better in every way).

The X5 has that certain BMW-thing; minimal body bulk, an understated/comfortable interior, intuitive transmission/throttle response, excellent packaging, and masculine appeal.

Thanks, this forum has been very helpful!

Bergstrom in Appleton?

Yes, salesperson; Jeff Learhy.

Welcome aboard.

From one Shawn (who spells Shawn correctly) to another, welcome!

Have never done a deal with them but have used them for service on both Land Rover and BMW. My parents live about 20 minutes from the Appleton location. Side note, played tennis against one of the Bergstrom sons in High School.
