CPO X5 35i
I just wanted to say hello to everyone on here and introduce myself. By my user name you can see that I am an F30 fanboy but an enthusiast of all BMWs and tomorrow I will grow the stable by purchasing a new-used 2012 X5 35i premium. I have always liked the x cars and she is a lover for the SUVs. Hopefully, I can contribute to the E70 forum as much as I have to the F30 forum.

Unfortunately no M Sport. My wife digs the M Sport but liked the premium more so I found a 2012 Premium X5 35i. It has the premium sound pack, convenience pack, space saver spare, and BMW apps. Platinum metallic gray with black interior. I went and picked it up at a dealer 275 miles away so got some serious drive time behind the wheel and came home to surprise her. It was quite the journey considering that I woke up at 4am drove from Charlotte NC to Atlanta GA bought the car and drove back the same day. It was a long day but worth it. The cool part is that when I was driving back I passed the Spartanburg Plant in SC and it was nice feeling to pass its home factory. All in all, coming from driving a 328i sedan, the car feels like a 5 series lifted and has all the correct BMW characteristics. Some even better than mine such as the steering. Being that mine is the drive by wire system and the X5 is old school, it just felt so much more planted and provided excellent driver feedback. I can't imagine how nice the M Sport would be with the suspension upgrade.
I will post pictures later after I remove the bug cemetery from the front of the car.

Pics as promised. The car is fantastic and is such a pleasure to drive. The 35i engine is great with the perfect power delivery.
