Hello!

Post by geordiedavid » Sun Nov 05, 2017 9:51 pm

hi guys, looking at getting an x5 very soon, upgrading from an e90 320d msport. looking at 2012/2013 40d msports and finding the spec i want is tricky! I've found one that is almost everything i'm after at Dick Lovett in Hungerford, has anyone had any dealings with them? they seem to have decent reviews.

thanks in advance

Hi and welcome to the forum.

It worth having a read of the buyers guide in the E70 section. It sound like you know which model you are after but it's worth having a drive if you haven't as some find the cars too firm and for others the ride okay.

Also find a car with the spec you need / want as retro fitting bits on the E70 is a lot harder and more costly than the earlier E53. Check that the all electrics features work inc roof mirrors windows seats aircon etc etc. As welll as rthe usual car checks you would carry out on any car.

Not had any dealing with dick Lovett dealer but seen add for some of their BMW and usually good spec cars from the adverts

Good luck with the search.
Graeme
