New X5 Owner From Scotland

[Meka]

Hi Guys & Gals

Just bought myself my first ever X5 just had it for nearly two weeks now and really enjoying it, I'm not new to Bmw's I've been driving them for years now but they have been coupes, So after looking for a wee while for the right model to go of which had to be petrol due to I usually only use the car at the weekends and some weekends I don't even cover much miles so I clearly started looking at the 4.4 V8 version of which I ended up buying and have to say it sounds amazing and drives fantastic.

She is a 51 plate, 1 owner from new full service history and just covered 94k

Here is a few pictures of my X5 4.4 V8









As I said I've been driving bmw's for some time now the 1 I just sold was a pretty rare silver clubsport

Before this I had a 325ci coupe


And my e36 328 my fav of cars so far a lot went into this 1


Thanks for looking

Seen a few. There's a guy in the village with an F15, there's also a couple of E70s knocking about. Also there's a brand new dark purple four door M6 I see sometimes, stunning car.

Thanks Sanj

Yes previous cars were really nice but needed a wee change from doing the same to each car as the M3 was next on lost but shall wait till next year for that, the Clubsport was very hard to sell but very rare car as only 48 were made and lucky if there is 10 still around but with the added new suspension and the style 95 alloys she got a lot of attention

You can do lots with the E53 too - take a look at forum member Raj and all the extras he's done to his. You may end up wanting to keep this one a bit longer!

I had a wee look over yours and you have done a great job of making it so much better I do have 1 question for you what coilovers did you use and if any links to them if you could pass on that would be great as I would like to lower mine as well
