As far as the fog light chrome, that is another problem. There is a thread dealing with that problem and may require having the plastic ones chromed.

No worries with Jerry he's grrrreat. He'll get them to you as soon as he gets his shipment.
p.s. I bought the AMG pedal kit from giorgos on eBay and it looks great (in my closet). He shipped them from Germany and I got them in about two weeks. I'm really digging this purchase. For $70 you can't go wrong. Here's the link for anyone interested (this is for the GL):

These are NOT the round ones you need if yours came with black.

Be interested in your comparison with the X5. Where do you commute to...I lived in Maryland a good number of years and commuted to DC. Clinton, Crofton and Annapolis.

I love our 2005 X5, great car. WE have the 4.4 with sport package, 19"rims, black with grey interior, and about every option you can put on it. It was our 2nd black x5 in a row. The x5 is a smaller car that handles better. The x5 is more similar to the ML in size. When we got home tonight the GL was parked next to the x5 in the garage. My wife said, "my car looks tiny", and it did. The GL is much higher. The X5 feels a little more sporty, i think it is because it sits a lot lower and has a very tight feel to the steering. I will try to give more detailed comparision once I am more familiar with the GL. The x5 drives more like a car, the GL more like a truck. neither is better, just different.
The navagation in my 2004 BMW 545 blows the unit in the GL away. better grafics and way easier to use with the idrive. The Nav in this 08 GL is about the same as a nav in my mothers inlaws 2002 s500. They desperately need an upgrade. It is about the same as th X5 nav.
I live in Baltimore county and commute to Wilmington Delaware everyday. I don't hit much trafiic, but it is a lot of miles. That is why I bought a diesel. The X5 gulps gas. It is a 1/4 tank each way. I really don't care about the money that much, I just hate to get gas every other day. This diesel should give me more a much further range.

With that commute, I can't wait to hear your impressions after driving it for awhile. I gotta say, you've got one brutal commute, regardless if there is no traffic. Thankfully, you've got some great rides to try and make it manageable.

Chrome Fog Lights
Did anyone solve the chrome fog light issue?
I found the actual cornering fog lights for about $81 each (without the cover I think - they are opening on Monday and I can find out exactly).
Thanks!

Chromed fog lights
I just sent a new pair of the black plastic surrounds to the company I mentioned in my post #21 of this thread. They will chrome them for me and ship them back in about 3 weeks. I'll post pics once they are on my vehicle.
BTW, my dealer said the chrome surrounds for the cornering fog lamps are $69.00 ea. Part numbers - 164-880-07-24 and 164-880-08-24.
