Hello all Members and owners on the X drivers forum.

Just taken ownership of an E53 4.8is exclusive model on an 05 reg. Having owned all kinds of Bmw's over the last 15 years this feels like a real hot rod of a machine. Having owned the e39 m5 and the Legend Alpina B10's i hope the x5 stands up to these two :) By god its a thirsty Monster.

Any way thats it for now, be good to discuss issues i will have with the car during my ownership. Hope not to many.

I do have one already so i'm off to the general section to ask for advice.

Cheers,


Fred.

Hello & welcome Fred & great choice of motor.

I must admit i get a little frustrated with fuel costs,but with your track record with cars cant see it being a problem.

Hope it treats you well & you have lots of fun in it.

Thanks for the Warm welcome guys.


I do like a V8 it seems Lee lol. I wouldn't have it any other way :) Albeit crazy fuel costs and consumption V8's give but they do make up for it with performance.

Thanks again,


Fred.

Welcome Fred

Enjoy your new ride. You have just got to love the sound of a V8, even though I have a diesel myself, just jealous.
