Very nice X5_twin, thanks for the pics.

Ahem, form an orderly queue :P
535dboy does yours have usb? Does that mean it has the media pack?

Sorry for taking off topic, just interested to know what all these 'packs' are.

[quote=""pvr""]Great (except for that hole in the bonnet :rofl: ).

What Black is that? The spec looks very similar to what I ordered (including the cameras).[/quote]

hole in the bonnet - not sure what happened to the photo!

It's Black Sapphire not Carbon black.

Couldn't wait 6 months I'm afraid, the M3 was proving too much of a challenge to live with !!

Can I see some pics of your X5 ? Are they on the forum anywhere, sounds very nice indeed (almost the same as mine reading your spec above, but mine doesn't have the USB and V8 exhaust tips or rear blinds but besides that almost the same I think) Would like to see a pic of the V8 exhaust tips, sounds like a possible mod I should consider maybe ?
