Just for those that want to know, you can now build an XDrive35i on BMWUSA. Mine came out (while being generously optioned) to about $69-70k. Pretty expensive when you load it up.

There's a load of colors to choose from, including a new silver that looks like it would fit in between TiAg and AW. I'm not feeling it. The interior choices are HUGE. So many different leather selections, and four types of trim: titanium (probably like in the 6 series), brushed aluminum, dark bamboo, and piano black. Whatever you choose, this car seems to look good. The interior looks well sorted out in terms of what you're given to choose from.

Notable options I noticed included the HUD, "active" seats, and some other goodies. I really want to drive this thing.
