Seen an x5

Yeah anything youve added to it that might need to be declared over the standard factory stuff.
Spec looks great and my daughter would love the rear entertainment :)
Just needs the arches colour coded lol, no seriously looks great.
What issues have you had?
Where are you located?

Wow they were two very expensive E53's!  :))
As others have said if you've got that sort of cash to spend get yourself a E70!  8)

Well seen another one but it's miles away in York.

Saw this car on Auto Trader’s Android App. Thought you might be interested. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... 1100063274

Has to have sat nav. 
Did test drive an e70 last week at a bmw dealer and they wanted 22k for it on a 59 plate.  Didn't even have heated seats.
Just out of interest why didn't the e70 msport have the sidesteps as these look much better?

I saw that one in york the other day , looks nice , I only live in malton which is about 18 miles from York .

That's not too bad, is it electric folding mirrors aswell?
What do you reckon as to buying warranties as obviously with private sales you are taking on that risk.
Oh and parking sensors?
The Mrs needs parking sensors lol.

It has parking sensors front and rear, reverse camera

The mirrors are electric folding and coded to fold via the keyfob upon holding lock button down.

warranties unless auc warranty or paying big £££ for a decent one I think are not worth paper they are written on.

Sound great, it's a shame the postcode search wasn't updated until 2010 but it's a small price to pay for a nice motor.
Any interior pics?

If you are interested then yes I can get some sorted for you yes no probs.  I think there is an aftermartket disc you can buy for £20 which enables full postcode search.

Well just need to make sure funds are available.  You say you're in Wales?
We might be coming up there for a short break around the half term time. Whereabouts are you?
