Iceman is a travel agent -- why not just let him plan your trip? I'm sure he'll take great care of you...

Jonathan - I trust you'll be writing about your impressions of the 535d. I (and I'd bet a bunch of others) are hoping that will be among the first diesel models imported next year. I do understand that diesel X5s are manufactured in SC, and then sent abroad.

Buying a pair at a time? You sure are lucky guy. You will be truly be able to evaluate the two engines side by side!

He's not buying a pair, he's just borrowing the diesel until he takes delivery of his 550...

Planning is not in my nature

I do welcome advice from everyone however. Esp. knowledgeable travel agents such as Iceman.

Ja, but I have been there dozens of times. It?s not as if I am visiting a foreign country.

Sorry to hijack this thread, but is Iceman really a travel agent? If so Iceman, I will be in Munich next weekend (Sept 29-Oct-6) for Oktoberfest! Any help (hotels must see) will be appreciated.
