Soon to be X5 Driver

Post by davl7 » Sun Dec 23, 2012 9:11 am

Hi all,

Picking up my 2012 E70 tomorrow and thought i'd better join a forum to trawl for answers to any stupid questions that may present themselves!  Moving from a Touareg 3.0d Altitude to a xDrive 30dse with loads of bells and whistles on it and i'm really excited, best self xmas present ever I think :)

@graemeX5, caught them at year end with money in my pocket, showed them the other car I was looking at from another dealer, explained what I needed them to do in order to secure my business, they bucked, they squirmed and I walked away, they came back within the hour and said "lets do it", happy days!
