Casual surfing sesh looking at X5s. Got my online broker quote, took it into my local BMW dealer and within 30 minutes had signed the order form. Not only did they match the discounted price, they also gave me 5k more than I had been quoted for the p'ex, allowing me to up the spec even more against my budget whilst still retaining use of the Q7 until March/April.
Spec:
E70 X5 xDrive 40d M Sport
Alpine white
Black perforated Nevada leather
Media package
Sport suspension
Towbar detachable
Style 333M 20" shoes
Powered bootlid
Comfort access

Reverse assist camer + top view
Folding/dimming mirrors
High gloss shadowline
Front seat ventilation
Front comfort seats
Lumbar supports
Front & rear seat heating
3rd row seating
Adaptive headlights
Sidce view cameras
HUD
Internet
BMW Business speakers
USB audio interface telephone
Mobile app preparation
Sun protection glass
M sport wheel
M bodykit
Piano black trim
Iphone 4s cradle
USB Y cable
Service pack
Delivery hopefully end March.

Nope, keeping the X6, this is a pressie for the missus.
Thanks for the reminder. I have emailed dealer to see if heated steering wheel can be added
Nothing I can do about the colour - we live in Cheshire after all LOL

I'm not letting mine read this thread........she might get some ideas. I'll just remind her that she had an X5, but used too hot a wash so now it's a Mini. Somehow I'm not sure she'll be that easily convinced....
It usually starts with something like......."If you loved me........etc etc!". And when those conversations start, I just know I'm in trouble and about to become poorer again.....

Lol! So would I!
Can you not ask the dealer to retro-fit? Depending on how bad you want it, you should have some persuasion as buyer???

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean - her Mini was the most expensive of the type that the Dealer has sold to date AND the X5 went as well
Still, we luv em really
