Upgrading from E53 to E70

I have owned a 56 plate E53 X5 for 4 years and am looking to upgrade to an E70, ideally an M Sport 08 - 09 around 60,000 miles, is there anywhere on this forum to look for a nice example and maybe sell mine?

Thanks in advance and apologies if this is in the wrong place.

Re: Webasto Confusion....Help Please....

Im in Leicestershire, there is nothing in the boot, just the webasto module under the bonnet. On the computer it has aux. ventilation which when selected gives you the option of timer 1 and timer 2. Nothing else that I can see though. Other than that I just have 2 normal BMW key remotes, no webasto ...

Webasto Confusion....Help Please....

Hi all, The webasto on my 56 plate 3.0D comes on every time i open the car even at this time of year, I went to my local BMW indy and he disconnected it and said it that there is no need to have it, I only need it if I want pre-heat in winter to avoid having to get the de-icer out. So i figured I ...

Re: What is webasto?

Everytime I open a door or unlock the car a fan comes on, I'm guessing this is webasto? The fact it's coming on in this weather suggests it has a problem? I need to use the car for a family holiday this weekend could this do damage?

Re: New Owner Needs Advice

So its not stupid for my mechanic to think it had these then?
I take it I dont need to worry about anything else with the engine on these cars?

When I asked him about the car I just purchased he recomended I get the swirl flaps ...
