That being said, I supposedly got the x5m for my father, but since he is out of town about 6 months of the year, I am probably the one that will be enjoying it more often.

I wish BMW would have let Alpina use the M hud, M cluster and M settings. They could have re branded it to A instead.

I go in to sign early next week, I am still debating if I should do a 2 year lease or 3 year lease. I had a 650 and got bored with it after about 2 years, I feel like the same might happen here. But if I love it, I might regret the decision after 2 years. First world problems...
Just to share my experience with you, I had 2 650i for 2 years (September 2011 to September 2013) and then got M6... it's almost 2 years now and I'm still excited with M6... Just my 2 cents
