finally got a trouble free X :)
Thought i would show my face (ish) around here....been lurking but not posting much.

Hope everyone is doing well i see we have plenty new members ....must get a meet together sometime

Re: finally got a trouble free X :)
Is it congrats as you've bought a new one? Or just finally rectified the old?

I was ....now sold thats why it's trouble free
I would have loved to upgrade to an E70 but the finances being as they are and work being so slow amongst other things it wasn't possible
So i have left the brand (temporarily i hope ) and gone back to a VW.
Got a little blue 1.9 tdi golf..... not quite an X5 but a great little car and the fuel difference puts a smile on your face.
Pics to follow.
Ohh and unfortunately for you lot i will be sticking around here and drooling over your lovely bmw's

Re: finally got a trouble free X :)
You'll be noticing just a wee difference in the fuel figures then...... . I think my Octavia used to give almost 60mpg on the PD130 version of that engine..
Sorry the 'X' had to go, but in the circumstances perfectly understandable. I'm not sure I would have lasted 8 years of hassle, 6 was bad enough.. . I don't think I went many weeks without some snaggette or another . Deeply envious of those who have had perfect, or nearly perfect ones.
You might be in a 40d afore long.........

Thanks fella,
You never know 40d.......this time next year ehh rodders )
I must add aswell the title of this thread is 'tongue and cheek' i have absaloutly loved both of my X5's and most of my problems have been maintenance issues bar the odd few probs.
It's not untill you go to a different brand that you realise the quality of the beemers and the little touches that make the difference.

Re: finally got a trouble free X :)
Golf's are huge fun to drive and the difference in fuel economy will bring the biggest smile...
I've had to take a 'step' back a couple of times due to finances or other reasons and each time it's been to a MkIV Golf. The last one was a V6 4motion...lol what a great Ring toy... :drive:
Also when going back up the ladder it's always been a real step up so look forward to the new motor once things improve.
