A new X5d is coming my way!!!
This is our second BMW this year. I took possession of my F10 550ix 2 weeks ago.
My wife was due for a change from her MDX so we looked at the X5. They have repackaged the options in Canada. It will be loaded as an executive edition with the "Comfort and Technology" package, along with 3rd row seats. It will also have the AG sport package which includes: - 20 inch staggered wheels - Sport suspension - Anthracite roof liner - High gloss shadowline - Sport seats with front cushion extension - Wider fenders I left a deposit tonight, and will get into an April production slot. Should be here in late April or early May. |

Congrats, what color combo did you go with? We started our X5 purchase process several months back, and it will be delivered in June after I return from deployment. We started with Space Grey and Black, to Bronze and Oyster, to White and Tobacco...no more changes now, we just got our chassis number the other day.

I wanted Alpine White, and my wife wanted Platinum grey, so we compromised and went with Platinum grey.

Ha! I'm right there with you...except the other way around. I wanted the space grey, she wanted the white, so we compromised and went with the white But I will say this, it looks great and I will be happy with it I'm sure. We were back and forth over interior as well. We have a young child, and I saw how the tan got tore up in my parents Lexus with my younger siblings. We were going to go oyster, but dodged that nightmare and went with the tobacco.

If you like driving slow heavy trucks with squick and rattles, problems with climate and battery and sit high then maybe it's your cup. I'm more into the sport sedans/coupes. Too bad I realized it after taking delivery. Now can't convince myself trading it in and loosing big time.

It's very comfy ride on the freeway, though it's not as economical as the car at highway speeds due to the high ground clearance and weigh. The best I could manage at 120 km/ph is 8-8.5 l/100km. Slowing to a 100 would of course reduce the consumption. Those numbers are driving without AC with 2 people in the truck. City I'm getting 10.5-11 l/100km with AC or without and 12-15 l/100km in winter. I could easily get around 7.5-8 l/100km in my tuned 335 on the freeway and around 12-13 in the city. The diesel engine is lacking horsepower (not torque) big time and painfully slow in it's stock form, transmission is lazy too, brakes are too weak for the car size. Plus the fact that it's a "chick-mobil" 90% of all X5s in Montreal are driven by females. I'm very happy that at least my wife and kids loves it.

I called BMW Canada this morning, and they tell me its in assembly. I assume that it is in assembly from the moment it starts production to the moment it ends production. I know it started last week (mid week). I assume it will be finished in the coming days.
