jesus christ! do you really need a 4.6? I mean, you are not gonna race and run down civics and integras...
4.4 should be in plenty of power for average needs, (Well, maybe you are not so average huh :) ? )

Weren't you telling me how you'd spent too much money on your previous X5 last year at the Toronto meet? :p

Seriously though, you're one lucky guy. Here's hoping that this new X5 stays nice and un-dented. It's a great vehicle, have fun with it.

Nice ride Windoog. You had a 4.4i before this one correct?

What made you choose it over an ML55 AMG? (this is assuming you went with a slushbox 4.6iS)

The Rover costs way more. Actually got mine for only a little more than the 5-Series wagon with comparable options. Also lotsof stuff not available in the 5 series.

No Escalade or Navigator since they can barely fit down the ramp into the garage. People in the building that own one need to take the long way around to avoid the pipes.

I am actually more concerned about the Corolla in front of me. It's driven by a hot blonde that lives two doors away from me

Yea, its a Viper, SVT Lightning, and 911. If you look to the left of the Viper, you will a Kawasaki bike. All owned by the same person. I believe he is 3rd in line to be king of Bahrain. The second in line used to have a supercharged M5 parked there. Nearly had a Lamborghini Murcialago parked there but he had it shipped directly to Bahrain.

Looking at the back of your car reminded me to ask this question: Does it not bother you that the dealer puts a little sticker to advertise itself on the back of yout $50,000+ car? Personally, I wouldn't buy the car if it had any sort of visible dealer sticker. Yes, I am that vain. Besides, why advertise for the dealer? They didn't do you any favor.

Erm I don't know how other people define vehicles but I don't define a SUV as a car.
Anyways I like your neighbor's Porsche and Viper better. :p
