Hi Guys,
Finally Managed to get some pics together! :thumbsup:

[quote=""x555""]Nice one :thumbsup: now stop teasing us and get them pics sorted ;) :rofl: I think i would be too busy driving it and fiddling around with all the buttons to post pics ;)[/quote]
@x555- yes mate too busy playing with it and trying to work out what all the buttons do :D

[quote=""MJim""]Yes it's a shame that Adaptive drive is no longer available on the X5s apart from the 50i. I'd heard that the rear camera was poor, but they've improved it now so possibly something you could get upgraded if it bothered you.[/quote]
I did notice that- not really sure why they've stopped the AD on anything apart from the 50i :? Will definitely look into the updated camera- not sure how much better it is though. Does yours have the Rev. cam?

First impressions

Driving back from Scotland- stopped to take in the scenery

Head Up Display - not very clear on the photo but quite easy to read when driving esp. at night.
Image
Reversing Camera visible on RHS - quite offset from central position

Apologies for quality of pics- taken from phone. :)

That's lovely and the drive back as you say must be one to remember, if only because of the event! :thumbsup:

Lovely. :)

Drive back was brilliant mate - the time flew by TBH (going up in a Focus CC was a slightly different story :( ). We took the scenic route as opposed to the motorways, to make the most of the moment- definitely one to remember :thumbsup:

They are nice for the kids- but the must have was the DVD player- now they only fight about who watches what lol.

We were deciding to upgrade last year, but the missues wanted the new kitchen (she won :roll: ) so we had to put it off till this year.

Cant wait for the mods to begin. Arches already sorted thanks to Avtar :thumbsup: Now just some wheels (20s this time, NOT 22s!!!), white Angel Eye Leds, Exhaust trims..... i'm doing it again!

Oh, a few of pics of the one we just sold - still miss it TBH!

Still like your e53. Great looking X with huge presents :thumbsup:

Rear heated seats would high on my list of must haves as I've promised my daughter and fed up of them moaning on winter mornings :lol:
