Great ride! I too am a fan of the X5. It is the sportiest ride of the SUVs / SAVs. Even if it's large, it just looks and drives fast. I wanted one for the wife, but with a handful of kids we really needed a real size 3rd row, so got the MB and love that truck for similar reasons.
Congrats again!

Love the car buddy...I'm a bit biased though, my guy traded in my 07 335i for the 10 x5 4.8. The thing is solid and FUN. Too bad about the gas mileage though. I'll have to do a review sometime, it's THAT great.
...now only if i could convince my guy to lend me his 08 audi s8 for a proper review!

Very nice car, someone I know has a 4.8 and the thing is amazing, well not as amazing as my father's FX50s but close
Can you share a little more in detail about the ride, whats under the hood, the interior, what options it came with, I know BMW does not put certain things as standard, that most would think come standard
Love the white

I like the X5's alot, especially the white ones. My friend had a X3, but since the gas got so high awhile back, she traded it for a Prius.. Now thats one of the ugliest cars Yota ever put out.. I dont care if it got like 300 MPG, its still ugly!
I did get to see the new GranTurismo up close at BMW the other day.. Its sleek and sexy.

Really, the X5 and X6 with all the same options as my fathers FX where 10-20 grand more, X5 3.0 are 60k, a little underpowered for such an expensive vehicle

For one, FX isn't the same manufacturer nor does it come from the same continent. Japanese cars pay different taxes, tariffs, labor rates, etc. than German manufacturers.
