Hi all from Lancs

Not quite got an x5 yet, but as soon as our VW T4 camper sells ill be in one, i'm currently looking at the 4.6 is or even 4.8 if i can stretch that far but saying that ive started looking at later spec 3.0d's, i want an x5 ready for a good sized caravan and a track car for myself come late 2015/2016,
we also have an f20 1 series, and its the 1 series that's made me want an x5.

Our Camper



1 series



Read a few things on the v8's and diesels, is it hard to compare the two? i wont b doing a great amount of daily miles.

Hi and welcome to the forum from a fellow Lancastrian. You need to test drive both petrol and diesels.
I had a55 plate 3.0 D Sport and was impressed with how it got down the road. Also good on fuel and handled well for a big lump.
Good luck with the search

All depends on the mileage you do really I bought a diesel and I should have bought a petrol as we do little miles i was put off a 4.8 by a diesel owner my mistake so mine will be going in the new year for a petrol version.
