Just completed the first 1000 miles in my Space Grey F15 X5 xDrive SE N63 4 and haven't stopped smiling. I loved my previous car, a Jag 4.2 XJ8 Sovereign, and wasn't looking forward to the change - WRONG. I tested the F-Pace and wasn't too impressed and after three V8s wanted another so plumped for the X5. In my opinion the fitting out might not be as classy but I think it's better screwed together. And doesn't it go! I'm still learning to use all the toys but have managed 19.5 mpg for the first 1000.
Was going to write some more but feel the urge for another trip around the block.

Quite a change from your previous motor. Glad you like it... I bought mine for a change, and am still sat with it 8 years later!

Hi and welcome
It sound like you've bought the right car with the right engine for you if it makes you feel like going for another drive.
There are less of the petrols on here esp F15 or E70 version there were more in the older E53.
