It's great to hear these are starting to trickle out into the world!
We decided, after a lot of pondering, to go for the X5 35d instead. For us, it has the xDrive (important, in our view, due to the snowy conditions where we live) and a diesel engine. I just couldn't justify the thirst of the 550i.
As a European who has relocated to USA, those big engine vehicles seem a tad over the top. I'm sure it's great and damn... that thing is fast, but anyway, it just seems a bit excessive for *us* and hence we went with the X5.
If we ever return back to Europe we can take the X5 with us and not worry (quite so much anyway) about the costs of refueling at the rather more pricey European gas pumps.
