Back to an X5!

Picking up a 40d on Wednesday from Rybrook
Sold my last X5 six months ago to buy a FF range rover , that lasted 3 months then bought a M2, now just chopped the M2 in to get back into a 40d M sport. I just dont think you can beat the X5!

Cheers, Not sure on what black to be honest

Your 1st pic seems to show a slight reddish tinge to it like mine does in the sun so I’m guessing ruby red .

Lovely car and great colour combo.
One thing that really bugs me and always lets all BMW’s down is the bloody steering wheel leather goes shined soooooo quickly :'(

Is that due to cleaning though? The leather on my E53 never went that way nor has it in the E71/46. I don’t use anything on the wheel deliberately (as I hate the way it feels when cleaned with something). Our F46 has an odd sort of finish. Sort of matte but not alcantara - MSport wheel.

The wheel I have in my 50d is exactly the same as I had in my F10 M5.
20,000 miles and it’s shinyer than my head!
Clearly I have greasy hands!
