It has been properly brought to my attention that I failed to, after a brief announcement, post any pictures or details of my latest family addition, a 2011 X5, replacing the too small E90 which is now gone.

Lets you verbally control numerous navigation system functions, record up to five minutes of notes, and dial phone calls hands-free.
Navigation system
Navigation system with iDrive and Real Time Traffic Information - convenient functions at your fingertips.
Online Information Services
Park Distance Control
Park Distance Control uses eight sensors-four in the front, four in the rear - to help you judge how close you are to other cars and unseen objects when parking. While engaged in a parking maneuver, the image on the screen visually changes and warning beeps come faster as the bumper approaches a stationary object, turning into a constant tone when the distance is less than 12 inches.
Real Time Traffic Information
Rear View Camera with Top View
Rear-view camera is activated automaticallyby shifting into reverse gear, or manually by pressing the parking-assist button. The color display shows a real camera image that may include "static" and "track" lines
to help you when backing up or parallel parking. The camera also has zoom functions, and a "docking line" that helps guide your approach to the towing hitch of a trailer.
Convenience Package
Auto-dimming interior and exterior mirrors
Automatic-dimming rear-view mirror senses the bright headlights of vehicles behind you, and automatically darkens. Exterior power-folding side-view mirrors automatically dim when reflecting bright lights, helping to eliminate glare when driving at night.
BMW Assist with Bluetooth
Lumbar support
Power lumbar support in the front seats adds four-way adjustable comfort for the lower back - it can be adjusted up/down and in/out.
4-zone automatic climate control
Lets front and rear-seat occupants select their own temperature and fan settings.
Universal garage-door opener
BMW Universal transceiver takes the place of up to three remote-control devices. It can activate remote functions outside the vehicle, such as garage-door openers or home-lighting systems.
Digital compass mirror
The easy-to-read digital compass, integrated into the mirror is a convenient way to constantly keep your bearings while driving.
Power tailgate
Helps loading and unloading in inclement weather or when you are carrying bulky items. Simply press a button to open or close the upper tailgate (Sooo kewl!). The X5also has handy automatic "open" and "close" buttons on the tailgate. The safe-close system automatically stops if it encounters blockage.
Rear manual side window shades
Manual roller sunblind for rear side windows help keep the sun's heat and glare out of the passenger compartment while providing privacy for rear-seat passengers. The blinds also create a comfortable environment for sleeping infants and children.
Ambiance lighting
Silver running boards
AND A PARTIDGE IN A PEAR TREE...! Happy now...??? Whew. But seriously - it is totally awesome, like a private cruise ship - just WOW (and 300/300 is PLENTY for this truck, I have other cars for super power :rule)
Well, there it is and now y'all know the details (other than my dealer friend who I know 8 years before he was a BMW dealer sold me the truck at barely over their invoice, thereby costinig me only $120 a month more than the entry level 2007 E90 sedan! FTMFW! )
