It was my wife loved the x5 more, personally the RR seems more beef. But it carries the drug dealer look, and a lot of the local paramilitary guys have them over here in Belfast. So the BMW was a smarter choice and also a more frugal one. I'm just wondering who ended up moving from the sport to the ...

Wondering how many of you have moved from the RRsport to this jeep? I read a lot before making the choice of what to buy and it was tough, I test drived both and still think the sport looks amazing in comparison, but the e70 has a lot more going for it in terms of what it actually does. I read most ...

How much do you guys pay on services out of warranty?

looks stunning, I seen a few of these where I live and they stand out, I love the black because you can polish it amazing. But if I had a choice I'd look at a white one. Looks nice with the arch extensions and paint on them, does it look as wide as a M sport this way? Would help me on painting mine.

That's helpful. I'd love to see a comparison from two parked together.  I hope it's not the wings being bigger. But I've a feeling it is. I've a neighbour with one but it looks a little weird parking beside it and doing the check.

I'm driving along everywhere and seeing X's in my sleep. The m sport ones seem wider to me? Is it only the arches (£250 kit) that does this or is the actual metal wings fatter? I don't mind the bumpers on the SE as the running boards look better on. But if it's just a matter of buying extended ...

nav too - will it work?
Its the 2007 idrive so guessing its not up to much tricks.

Would love to swap in a bigger screen as my last car makes this one tiny to use.

cheers!

I seen on ebay some camera kits ~£200 that you can add to your existing head unit? Any one here had any experience or suggest a way to go?

I also dislike the tiny screen - can that be swapped or is it a whole world of pain to do this?

Interesting perspective on buying new. We were about to buy a new barbarian 4x4 through work and write I think 43 off our tax bill but I just did not like the little car for the money. When you see cars like the sex bmw 6 series for around 10 k it sort of throws a spanner in the thinking. I'd wonder ...

Well I'd be well happy with the <£20 option, think that and a grille will be my first buy, then a driver upgrade on the speakers. The rest of the car is very sexy as is. Do you have a guide handy to install these?

That is really sound advice mate, appreciate that. You seem to think the right way about it. You are very lucky to be able to buy the car at the top - I'd only dream to be in that position. Though, spending 17k for me is a fab option as my last cars were all around 10k - Really what I wanted to know ...

I'm just about to buy an x5 2007 (love them awesome to look at and drive) I was just looking at the depreciation rate for them, the <2007 models are woefully low and almost tempting to buy instead as they are half the cost of the 17k 2007 one I'm looking at. So I'm thinking about this a little more ...

Thats wick mate, I was tossing between a cayenne and a rangie Sport, but this seems the best choice based on reliability. But the electrics is my only niggle. Mechanically I'm hopeful. I've driven german cars for years with bliss, but this things made in the USA ;(

yes seen that, I've my eye on a few in belfast here, but they all seem to be saying things like this: BMW X5 3.0d SE 5dr Auto [7 Seat] FULL BMW SERVICE HISTORY, 2007 (07 reg) means nothing, the odd time you see the BHP listed but the usedcars ni webiste and utvdrive sites here in NI suck a bit ...

Looked at them today myself, they look nice - I hate the non M sport version its too plastic looking, so adding these in the colour looks great. Brings it a bit closer to the trim of the M.

Reads like it is a bolt on bracket then it snaps on or screws on. Get it and let me know!
