Hi .....New X5 M Sport

Post by GaryM » Thu Feb 02, 2012 11:37 pm

Hi everyone , just thought i would join in this great site , I have just picked up my new X5 3.0 M Sport , space grey with black interior , high gloss shadowline/roof bars, media pack, sun protection glass, 20 " 333 Alloys , heated seats etc etc. I am loving it already , traded in my 2007 X5 3.0 se in black so far very impressed with the new I drive and the car itself feels sooo much smoother, got 40 miles on the clock now :o Anyway will stick some pictures below as i took a few today , none of the interior as yet but i am sure they will not take long to arrive ;) and i look forward to some good information and chat on here.... Do not know how to blank the plate out but it will be changing next week when my cherished transfer is completed..... Thanks for looking

Welcome aboard, id like an E70 too but I need to save a few more years yet,

Easiest way to blank out number plate is to open the picture on your computer with windows paint and use the paint brush tool over the number plate and then save it to your pc again. Use a different file name if you want to keep the original picture in tact

Yep apart from those minor things, it's brilliant. Even the stone chipping now seems to have been sorted by the manufacturer.

@GaryM: enjoy this weekend putting some miles on it!
