Hi, we currently are looking at changing our secondary car for a 1 series, and BMW are low balling on the trade in price on our X5 so thought I'd ask on here and see if anyone would be interested. It's a 2005 (55 plate) 3.0i Sport in silver Black leather (non heated) Electric seats Quite a low spec ...

Love those schnitzers, interestingly enough you can still buy them new!

I did a search but nothing specific really showed up. Anyways, couple of questions regarding my 2005 3.0i.
