I'm getting close to pulling the trigger on a 2012 X5 xdrive35d (later G37 - I'd recommend you to anyone - so long as they have never driven a BMW). Mid-deliberation, this video review gets posted to one of my favorite gear/gadget blogs:

Is this a sign? The car I'm looking at is Black Sapphire as well (no sport package - tough to find without ordering it seems)!
Anyhow, the review is favorable enough but delivered in a somewhat "hipster-ish" tone that makes me question whether this guy is really in the business of reviewing cars. That said, the video and imagery are beautiful. Enjoy.
Will keep you all posted on my pending purchase....
