Looks great, Black X5's looks awesome when they're clean. 

mine is covered in sand, god knows what was in the rain we've had over the last few days, seems the sahara desert has passed through north london.

Same for the X6 and Mini here.  It's something to do with a Spanish Plume apparently.. ???

According to tonight's weather the jetstream should be north of Scotland at this time of year, but currently it's sat over Spain so all the 'particulates' shall we say from North Africa, Spain and France are being blown north......all over our P & J's.. :rant:

Looking really good there mate.
Black always looks amazing when clean, it's just a bugger keeping them that way.

Nice one fella :)
