Back in an X ( X3 this time ! )

[Horizon]

Weve been struggling at home fitting people and things into our impractical cars.
I've got the 3 series hardtop convertible 330i. The wife has a MK2 Audi TT,  Both cars are not 4 person friendly.
Ive had to rely on mates to ferry my bike around if we were going further a field. Trips to the tip were multiple instead of all in one load.
I looked at getting back in an X5, an E70 was my weapon of choice. But I was limited to 2007/57 plate cars, which came with high tax rate £500

Looks very good.

Light wise before I retrofitted the xenons I had Hids in the dipped beam and LEDs in the main, fogs and side lights.

Cheers Jagr.
Are your old kits for sale, or if not can you please advise me of what is needed to update the lighting.
Cheers.
Also it's got satnav, but they are ordering a disc.
They said it didn't have Bluetooth,  it it says telephone in the menu, and "emergency" in the phone screen, and searching flashes in the screen. I also watched a YouTube video in Polish and they were pushing a pairing button in the centre console, so may be it has Bluetooth
Gutted my Chromotech gear shifter doesn't seem to be the same fitment to the 3 series
I will have to shell out £130 for a new one.

Trouble is they inspected my car,also test driven it for the PX. I  will investigate further on their site. It listed All the 3 series and X1 together and the X3 as a different shifter.
May get the wife to get me one for my Birthday
