Looks good Christian. You need to bring it down to DC so you can race the wife in the R. Would suck to lose to a girl, huh?

I would agree with you but 90k price tag is something not too appealing.. The X5 is not as fast as the 63 but the styling and handling is incredible!

According to their website, they are.

Building BMWs in America

Welcome to BMW Manufacturing Co., the birthplace of every X5 Sports Activity Vehicle, Z4 Roadster, M Roadster, Z4 Coupe and M Coupe.

Spartanburg isn't in Germany.

LOL....thats pretty funny.

Killer ride but yes it was built right under our noses at the big Greenville/Spartanburg plant in South Carolina right off I-85. If I'm not mistaken they also produce the Z's. Nice plant and they have a cool tour and museum.

I like the X5 and almost bought one. Had to go with a Surburban needed the extra space. The up side saved $25K. That goes in to the E63TT kitty.
