I'm finally back in an X5 after 15 years!

It is great to be back in an X5 again, and I've recently acquired a 4 month old(on 2200 miles when I got it) G05 X5 40d. It has replaced a 2022 GLE400d, and I'm glad to be back on here, and I'm looking forward to getting to know the car better now as well.

Nice motor and welcome back
What did you think of the Merc compaired to an X5?

[Lee4.8is]

Thanks.

We actually much preferred the Merc at first, and we thought it was better to look at and sit in to be honest. However as time has gone on, we have warmed more to the X5 now though, and the X5 is the much better car to drive in comparison for us.

Here are a few pics of the Merc.

We did 81.5k miles in it over just under 3 years.

Welcome back

[Lee4.8is]

It is great to be back thanks.

I used to really enjoy it on here when I had my X5 4.8iS, and thankfully this X5 does a bit more than 12mpg as well!

Not as many of the old gangs out now - sadly - but still some regulars and old faces (including mine!).

[Lee4.8is]

It is great to see you still on here for sure.
