Hi dubwud, I owned an E53 3.0d sport for nearly four years and found it to be a pretty good. They have their issues, but don't all mechanical objects. For what it's worth here's my information. the N57 Diesel engine is a strong unit, just needs to have had its services, oil changes etc. I understand ...

Can't agree more that the new F15 is not as good to look at as the E70. That's why I ordered an E70 just before the deadline date. (Collected from the dealer on the 10th June this year) The only significant improvement I had read about is the adaptive suspension that will be fitted to all models as ...

Hi Sorpio, has yours arrived yet? Mine is build code 9000, departed plant, anticipated delivery to UK 27th May. So hoping to pick up by 7th June.

Seems a long way from Southampton to Thorne I'm assuming the one near Doncaster, and then back again to Salisbury, no wonder they charge £700.00 delivery as they haul the car round most of Britain before handing it over. I declined the Teflon protective coating the dealer was offering as a lot of ...

Thanks X5 Sport. Why does it go to Thorne, and not direct to the dealer? I have my order with Wood BMW in Salisbury, which is about 20 miles from the port of Southampton.

Hi Scopio, mine is being built next week, hopefully will have it soon. How long from your build date to delivery?

Congratulations Scorpio, I too am about to place my order for and X5, spec similar to yours, but am opting for: Black Sapphire Oyster Nevada leather Media package 609 Navigation-system Professional 612 BMW Assist 616 BMW Assist online portal 633 Enhanced Bluetooth telephone functionality with ...

I'd like to know as well, currently runing E53 with TDI tuning box. Seems to give the increased power, but does smoke a bit when booting it, but I quite like that when you've got a boy racer right behind you. Not only do you leave him behind, but also in a cloud of smoke. Its a bit of a tale tale ...

Managed to add some more photos. These 2 are from the snow we had back in November 2010. I was quite suprised at how good the X was in the snow, even with standard fit Diamaras. http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q682/kenich1965/100_0037_zps700f94c3.jpg http://i1354.photobucket.com/albums/q682 ...

Changed mine back last year from the yellow to white, when one of the side light bulbs went and kept getting the beep everytime I started up and the message, check side/parking lights. As a replacment bulb and holder were nearly £28.00 I decided to upgrade. Ordered the LED's and changed them both ...

Thanks, will load up some more pics when I get time.

Thanks Sanj, success managed to upload a picture, took a while, photobucket seams to take a long time to import photos, but here is the first one. Took this just after I got it. It's not quite as clean at the moment.

Thanks for welcome and the quick replies. I will try and post some pics when I figure out how. Horizon, thanks for the info, but mine is intermittent, never does it when cold. When warm it sometimes suprises you if your not prepared for it. The wife didn't like it at first, but she got used to it ...

Hi all, just joined after visiting as a guest a number of times looking for information. Have been meaning to join for quite a while but never got round to it. Have been the proud owner of a 55 plate 3.0d sport in silver with leather, comms, privacy glass, running boards, 19's and coming up for 80 ...
