At the lot the day before.
Home after a morning bath
Since it has everything I'm wondering what mods to do. Probably do the air filters, 6000k fogs and change the Halo's. I'm also wondering if my SB V2 will work in the X5???

I bought a 2001 X5 new and drove it to 90K miles before I sold it in 2007. It was trouble-free and everything BMW said it would be. It had the 3.0 I-6 and I really wanted something faster; otherwise I might still have it now. Excellent vehicle!

the biggest thing about an SUV vs a sedan or non-truck is that the physical appearance is just a different preference altogether. so, if you're okay with the aesthetics, then who cares? IMO i hate SUVs and think they look really silly, and for all intensive purposes, are rarely useful. if it were me, i would want a truck that had a bed in it plus the towing capabilities over an SUV. i just really don't get the SUV. i also hate the E61 wagon though, or any wagon. again, all aesthetic preferences. the new M X's are probably the stupidest thing BMW ever did in terms of continuing their renown reputation, but i imagine they will sell well only because there is a market for the soccer mom who will never WOT her car, but likes knowing she got the most expensive SUV around. in your case, i think your reasoning is a bit more solid on the same vehicle. i still hate the aesthetics, though 
Wow... You are all over the place with your reply man. By the way, it's all "intents and purposes" not "intensive purposes."
