Just ordered one

Post by richbmw » Wed Apr 06, 2016 4:53 pm

Afternoon folks, I've just ordered an X5 30d M Sport in Space Grey with black leather, and black wheels. It's bigger than I need, but the standard equipment compared to the X3, and the deal I got made it a no brainer.

This is my 12th BMW; I've had 330's, 335's, M3 V8, 5 Series GT, 5 Series saloon and touring. Currently running a 64 plate 330d M Sport, so fancy something completely different, that won't kill my back (electronic lumbar support specced!)! Although the X5 has the same engine, there's a BIG difference in performance (to be expected due to the weight of the thing), so I may look at remapping at some stage.

It arrives in September, just before they start building the LCI model, typically! :))

I'll pop over to the F15 section, as I've got a couple of questions.
