I ordered this baby in December 2010 and finaly took delivery yesterday.

You will find my full review of the test car here.

The main options I ordered were:

1. Alpine White 111
2. Nevada black leather interior
3. Exclusive package
4. Performance control
5. Servotronic steering
6. Anti dazzle mirrors, interior and exterior
7. Roller sunblind for rear side (my son insisted on this)
8. Extended connectivity for communication/bluetooth/USB
9. Dynamic damper control
10. Professional navigation system
11. Electric seat adjustment. This is a must on an SUV.
12. Sport seats, driver & passenger
13. Sports leather steering wheel (3 spoke)
14. Sun protection glazing
15. Variable sport steering
16. Panorama glass sliding sun roof
17. PDC front & rear
18. High beam assist

I still Like:

- Looks
- Space
- Suspension
- Damper control options
- X Drive
- Comfort
- All the new James Bond gadgets
- Marvel of a 20d Engine
- Plenty storage

I still dont like:

- Comfort access
- Stop Start function

I plan to do plenty of reviews on this car. There is just so much to explore.

The new shape X3/5's are really pretty cars, I love the options you took on this car. I'm also not sure I like the idea of the start stop thing, but hey, I'm sure a lot of engineering and thought went into it.

Thx again for the compliments gents:thumbsup:

The thing does not fit into my garage...so had the builders here on saturday to be creative....and do some alternate renovations. Got stuff in the ceiling that needs to go like exhaust systems and such...eish
