My New E70 w/ PCD and Drive Home Pics

The anticipation is finally over and it was worth the wait Thanks to all fellow X5world and Bimmerfest members who helped me through the order, recommended PCD, and kept my mind occupied while waiting for the delivery date.

I took delivery of my new X at BMW's performance center in SC on May 8th. Sorry for the delay in posting these pics, but I've been too busy enjoying my new ride. The X is great and the PCD was a blast.

Oh yea, specs: 4.8i, Space Grey w/Black perforated Nevada, Premium Pkg, Premium Sound, Rear Climate, Sport Pkg w/ 20" Y Spokes, Technology Pkg, Active Ventiliated Comfort Seats , Heated front & rear seats, HD radio, Satellite radio, iPod / USB adapter.

Pics are from PCD and drive back to SoCal.

Thanks again to all who helped.

Greer, SC to L.A. Total trip was 2,837 Miles, 43.5 driving hours.

First 1,323 miles were on secondary roads and highways as much as possible for break-in and I averaged 13.4 MPG for this part. Next 873 miles were on interstate at 80-85 mph and I averaged 19.7 MPG.

Overall the best interstate mileage I averaged was 20.2 MPG at 70 MPH for a 179 mile leg.

Highest speed reached: 140 MPH - didn't look at MPG for this run.

BTW, 2,800 miles was a breeze in the X. The comfort seats make a hugh difference in long trip comfort.
