O/T BMW X5 4.6is What a truck!
Well,
I got the 2002 BMW X5 4.6is and all I can say is wow! This is one nice truck. It is a SUV, Sports Sedan and Luxury Sedan all in one. Awesome first class interior with all the goodies including DVD navigation, rides great, has all wheel drive and 340 hp!
LOVE IT!
The color is amazing as well it is the Estoril Blue with Black interior. You can only get the Estoril Blue in the 4.6 so you won't see this color on the other X5's.
Not a bad winter beater and yes I will put snow tires on when the heavy stuff comes. For now the stock 20 inchers with the big meats look killer!

Yeah, those SAVs are awesome. They do not do heavy off-road activity very well...but they tackle light off-road and on-road activity with a vengance.
Plus the 275/40/20 front and 315/25/20 rear tires look super aggressive.

Yes, I've seen a couple around and I'm partial to that color b/c my M3 was Estoril. Very nice and good luck. If you can, post a picture of your interior as I'm looking to add a little more red to my interior and you seem to have some things.

Yep!!
I took delivery of an Imola Red on Red 4.6IS last year. It's crazy what that car does sitting that high. It just doesn't seem possible.
This beast will out handle most "so called" sports cars and smoke them 0-100MPH.
Mine will not touch anything but snow and street and that's fine with me.

I just test drove one. It surely is a sweet truck. So smooth at 80mph. However, the dealer called me back with a price quote of $300.00 off msrp. I was pissed, and realized why I never owned a BMW before.Just my luck with bimmer perhaps. However, I just picked up an Infiniti FX45 for 3300 below sticker, and it is as well a sweet truck though not as prestegious as the bimmer. Tons of features including distronic cruise, dvd, keyless go, and 315HP multivalve v8.

BTW - That FX45 is a great car for the money. I test drove one and they are a blast.
