my new X5

[rh71]

'08 X5 3.0si
White w/ Saddle Brown

I've been stalking this thing since May '07 and last night I finally got to pick it up after a 5-week wait for build. I've had my Rodeo for 13 years and I'll most likely keep this for quite a while too.

Goodies:
Sport Pkg (electronic damping / 19" wheels)
Premium Pkg (ambient lighting / bluetooth / SOS)
Tech Pkg (nav / traffic info / rear camera / park distance control)
Comfort Access (keyless lock/unlock & engine start - keys never come out of my pocket)
Auto Tailgate
Aero Kit

Picsssssssss:
Front
Rear
More

This thing drives with more than adequate power, not to mention it corners like it's on rails. I test drove the 4.8i as well and while 350hp is sweet, it wasn't worth the $10k premium.

nice but i will never understand why anyone would buy a white vehicle.

Looks real nice. The new style is a lot tighter than the old one. Gratz!

The same could be said for black.

Very nice. Stay away from airstrips.

Awesome! Congrats!

we have an E53 ... will upgrade this year or next ..

if you are not a member, go join the BMW CCA and the local chapter!

again congrats! the 3.0 is sweet! unless u need the power of 4.8, 3.0 is adequate even for light boat/ trailer towing

The 2nd best in my opinion was space gray, but my Rodeo is already that.

I actually have a white car. It looks really nice, but I would have preferred black.

 

[HannibalX]

Black is nice also. I have a black car and a white car.

also, let us know how you are adapting to the joystick shifter ... i have only driven once and it looked like it will take some getting used to ... more so in the SPORT mode?

When a white car is dirty it looks off-white.

I got the hang of it on my 2nd test drive actually. Manual is very fun but I haven't dared yet while in the break-in period. I like my cars to last a very long time.

Nice ride. :thumbsup:

 

[Koing]

Looks pimp!

It looks better then the older x3. They looked 'too soft' for my tastes. This one looks harder and meaner

That's a good looking X5. I think it looks great in white.

 

[WingZero94]

How much does something like that run?

 

[UNCjigga]

You're such a bimmer whore!

Very nice, and kudos for taking the efficient V6 over the V8.

 

[fLum0x]
