Looks awesome with those black rims. Perfectly matches rest of the shadowline trim.

Niko, you have a great eye for photographing things well, my friend . Haha, but you should have closed your door!

I can't wait to start updating this thread with my pictures too.

Is the cargo net a factory option or is that homemade? I would like something like that for my dog too!

There is a small compartment on the left side of the rear. I opened it and found the net neatly rolled up in a bag there.

I should have staged it more. It was just spontaneous and we had the cargo box and the hatch open too, loading up the gear after a few days of skiing rocks and ice (one flood, and back to our drought). Any closer and I would be getting pictures of car wash gear from

"Ski trip" I hope you had more snow on your first trip, because that looks like you landed at the wrong spot for ski.

In my car (and i think in Europe), it's completly integrated in the car : see pictures. It's a standard feature.

I think CERS1 meant the other type of net, the one used to hold loose items in the trunk (e.g. small groceries, etc.). This type of net is part of the 'kit de rangement' which is a paid option.

Where I learned to drive RHD! Stopped there on the way to Rotorua en route from Coromandel (sp.). At one point driving toward Tauranga I was on the wrong side of road for about 15 seconds until I realized .... thank goodness for your lovely and quiet roads.

The roads are pretty busy these days! I have just finished loading the car up to head to the Coromandel for the weekend! I changed to the X5 from a VW Amarok ute and just love it!

Why you have to go the land down under to learn to drive RHD? The traffic in California is a RHD traffic, slow traffic on the left lane and we pass from the right lane. Not sure about the other states, but that is the case with California's road and highway.

Just another snowy X5 image :-)


Have a good weekend all,

RHD vs. RHT! But I hear you.....I prefer the German approach of turning on left signal as one approaches a slow car in the fast lane. It took slow me a while to figure out they were not going to turn into the barrier.
