Order Placed... (delivered w/pics)
 

Couldn't wait for 2014 Diesel to come out (my lease ends in July), so ordered 2013 35d today. Specks below. Production starts next week, so I have until monday to finalize exterior color. Deciding between Black Saphire and Deep Sea Blue.... :dunno:

For those who wonder why 3rd thread... Yeap, 3rd X5 !

Deep sea blue looks really nice in person... So does saph black. Can't lose with either!

Didn't you just post a thread, not too long ago, about a 5.0? Or maybe a M? Like...only a month or two ago?

Nope.... But I did post a thread about black vs. white exterior. So white is eliminated at this point...

Seconded. :stickpoke

I am happy with power performance of D, and the relative economy I get with it. I used to have 2008 4.8i, thus was a bit more fun, but with 16K I drive per year, it gets expensive... Not to mention I need the range per tank, it helps.

Besides, 5.0 with same options gets in 80K+, there are no eco credits etc... So the lease would cost me $200+ more per/mo.

So i've settled with Deep Sea Blue... Black Saphire is nice too, but too many black cars on the road, and they all look like bad a#s. That is not me character-wise, thus DSB is better choice at this point. Hey, it is a lease after all, i dont need to make a life-long committment ;)

Thanks!

Congrats on your pick - I'm sure it'll look sweet!
