    New DD

    I got this a little over 2 weeks ago, but its been rainy basically every day since i got it.... so today, i washed it real quick and snapped some pics...

    BMW X5 4.8i - Great running car... 4.8L V8 - 350hp 350tq, so it picks up real nice... loaded up, rides like a dream, and handles better than most sedans....

    The only thing i won't like is when it comes time to buy tires... 315/35/20's on the rear are going to cost me

    I'm not saying put it in the weeds, maybe its the wheel well covers that make it look like that. Nice though.

    Very nice. I was just looking at one of these to replace the mrs. SRX. Loved it but it was the 3.0 I6 model and was painfully slow. I bet the V8 model is perfect

    Thanks guys.... I"m really happy with it so far....

    Being younger and into technology, I like it, but i can see why people would complain about the iDrive system.... its overly complicated for people that aren't super tech-savy, and even for some that might be.....

    I was looking into that tire size for the rear of a new mustang and they are actually not priced too bad. The toyos were under $200 a piece. Not bad at all I thought but then again I am used to paying over $400 each for the tires on my truck.

    i haven't done a lot of searching - but from what i've seen, there's 1 cheap tire in the 150 range, and then they go up to like 270....

    I feel ya though... the vette has 335/30/19's, and they're brutally expensive, so its nothing new - but still not something I look forward to...
