Well, new to me. It not a wagon, or a manual, or a diesel, but it is brown so that counts for something. Right? Anyway, it’s a CPO 2017 X5. By the time I got out of the dealership it was dark so no pictures tonight but there will a full report to follow. Needless to say, it drives a little better than my Mariner.

Update: Evidently my wife took a pic while I was talking to the sales guy.

It is kind of wagon, so you get two points. Congrats.

Three if it has the seldom-seen turn signal option group.

The turn signals are one of the things I'm going to have to adapt to since I've only ever used old school mechanical ones.

Anything with a split tailgate is alright in my books. Nice buy!

congrats - nice rig

I work with a guy that just got his 2nd x5. He had an older one and just picked up a 17 or 18 (not sure.) He looked at the new ones (and the the x7) and decided he liked that prior model quite a bit better and found a newer, lower mileage used one and had it shipped.  He’s got BMW in his blood - he has a beautiful e90 M3 in that dark charcoal too.

This one has just under 30k miles which for me is basically new.

yep - I believe that’s it.  Those sound so cool too...  And in those non-bright colors they are a great Q-ship.

It’s an 2008 only color. I looked at one this color back in 2013, because even thought I didn’t want a 2008, this one was cheap. Wasn’t sure on the color then, not sure how I feel about it now. My car is space grey metallic, which is the color that replaced sparkling graphite metallic.
