New X5 3.5 is home

I'll post more pics when I get another sunny day, but this will have to do for now. Brought it home Friday and I have to say I am very impressed. It is a beast in the snow even with all-seasons.

I was very concerned about the rough roads here but the suspension on the car works fine as stock. After ordering I worried about not going with M adaptive suspension but it looks like things are just fine as is.

Super happy with the Luxury line, thought maybe this was a mistake and the more aggressive M would be better but I love it.

The ACC Stop/Go is fantastic and works perfectly. Very impressive. Working out using the iDrive but it is going smooth. Iphone integration is working better than I expected. LED lights and auto high beams work perfectly - awesome! HK stereo is super.

Problems:

- Washer fluid sensor said things were low on a cold morning (10F). Only happened once so far.
- I noticed with car parked and running to warm up left fog light was off and right one was on. Now I can't reproduce.
- Small ding in A-pillar headliner interior when I picked it up. Not sure what to do about that. Irritating.
- Black plastic of driver seat near seat controls has a mottled look, like scratches but not really scratches. Maybe I should take a pic.
- I decided to skip the comfort seats. That was a mistake as the stock really don't have a lot of side support. Should have spent more time comparing these.

Thinking of coding VLD and Enhanced Bluetooth. I have a cable but need to investigate SW and know how. Lots of good things to read first from Opasha and co.

Thanks to everyone on this board for the help.
