The cost was $26,450 which I thought was an excellent price @ 37K miles.

Ive been going to the dealer getting every little creek and cranny fixed while it is still under factory warranty and its free. Aftwards I'll have to pt the wrenches to her myself.. So far I think it's a great truck..

Sounds like a fair deal, and the mileage is also reasonable. I have your model in a 2006, and I've already packed on 47K miles!

I also do not have NAV, and I don't regret it. I don't know who your mobile provider is, but Verizon's VZ Navigator is easily downloadable into most phone models and does a great job. It has 3-D maps, traffic re-routing, and has yet to steer me wrong. Plus, if you ever need to drop the X in the shop and you get a loaner, the phone (and thus the NAV) is always with you. I have it on my LG eNV.

If I were you (and I'm not), I would bypass the NAV retrofit and use the money to upgrade to the 19 or 20" staggered wheel setup. That would be a smokin' look!

I would have to agree with Stan on the Nav on this one. Or just pick up a portable Nav system. Settle down first or take a deep breath and make a list what you want to do with your ride.

- Wheels
- Lights
- Steering Wheel
- exhaust pipes
etc...There's plenty of stuff that the board members that have mod their rides. Do a search or just ask...

Thanks..

I am going with 20's staggered an a few other things before the nav upgrade, but it will happen and it will be the factory setup. I wouldn't have it any other way. Thre was an X5 4.4 with nav when I bought mine but it was 7K more so I quickly passed.....Pluse I like this one better.. It was just sitting there calling my name...LOL.
I will be able to DIY the nav retrofit (whenever I get that far down the list) for around $1500 based on my parts research, so it will be worth it to me. as a final touch to my moddness.....
