Looks good. Do we have any idea whether all three engines will be available from the start?

I would say yes, or within a few months. Expect the gas I6 and V8 at launch, and BMW previously promised a new diesel X5 in 4Q13 I believe.

Nice. Unfortunately, our timeline is such that I have a feeling we'll end up with the e53. Oh well.

Cargo area still seems puny, but hopefully I'm wrong.

Find a well-kept '06, unless you meant E70 & if so time is running out for a new one. MY '13 is the end of the line.

Yeah, I meant e70. No idea why I got that confused. I'll need it before next winter so will probably look at CPO 2012 models.
