Today was the day - I got my new baby X5

[Bartek S.]

Today was very emotional day for me, I left at the dealer my old E53 which served me extremely well for the past 3 years and got a new E70 3.0si, space gray metallic color exterior and saddle brown Nevada leather interior, 18'' star spoke wheels style 210, dark bamboo wood trim.

Packages & Options: 6-speed Automatic Transmission w/STEPTRONIC. Front seats, 10-way power adjustable with driver side memory. Activity Package. Premium Package. Panorama Sunroof. Park Distance Control. USB Audio Integration.

I had my son and my brother with me. It took me about 10 min. to return the old one and almost 2 hrs. to pick up new one. Long time to go over all the systems upon my request and get explanation of some new features.

Thank God we survived. After that we had a nice ride to have small drink and great meal. After smooth trip home I'm trying to relaxed and spend some time with owner's manual. Good luck to me.

what do you think of the new gearlevel? Comfy to hold?

 

[Mr. Mercedes]

Congratulations Mr. Bartek!

That's a fantastic interior colour.

Looking forward to reading your reviews, feedback etc. and how they will compare to our experiences. We are picking up our X5 tommorrow afternoon.

BTW how many speakers does your sound system have and how is the sound quality?

I'm very apprehensive about the system our car is comming with.

Right on, Mr. Sikorski! Congratulations! Beautiful machine.

Although i have to admit that interior combo and exterior color are not my cup of tea, but still it's a great car.

Wish you many happy miles with it and looking forward to your impressions/review.

Btw if i may ask, Aero Package... Not interested in it, not liking it...?

The car looks great, that is probably the exterior colour I'd go for!

I would normal ask for pictures at the point, but it looks like you have already given us loads. Have fun with the new car, it looks great!

I saw my first X5 at the dealer the other day, all the grills on the front were chromed which didn't look too great, but yours looks good!

Imo, chrome gives it much better appeal and mine is absolutely going to have those!

Well, maybe if I see the car more I'll grow to like it.

It didn't help that the car was black, and it really stood out, basically the whole of the front was chrome and it looked bling, but not my taste! I had never seen one with this much chrome, and was just looking for some pictures of one like this, but couldn't find one!

Lets stay of topic!

 

[PanterroR]

Lets stay of topic!

Lol, ok...

You see the chrome....

 

[wltsm]

You know what I meant!

I'm pretty sure it wasn't stock though, looked a bit tacky!

 

[EMpower]

Congrats! Like the saddle brown, available to Canadians but not in US.
