Hello all.

Started the new year with a new car.

After 5 years of thinking about (and trying to justify) buying an X5, my wife is now the very happy owner of a 2005 X5 3.0d Sport.  Black with black interior and a pan roof.

This is our first BMW and I have to say I very impressed so far but I'm sure I'll be asking the odd stupid question from time to time.

I found this forum while looking for information about tow bars and have since seen a number of useful posts so thought I'd stop by and say hello.

Here are some pictures taken at the dealer before we picked it up.

Welcome!

Oh man, why spoil it for me though - I need to ask for pics!

Very nice car buddy, for the missus, so expect no mods intended (except winter tyres perhaps)?

No mods planned (not even winters tyres - never used 'em) but do plan to fit a towbar for the motorcycle trailer.

Still a bit annoyed today, noticed on Saturday that some pleb has already smacked it with their door in a car park - OSF Rear door has a small dent just forward of the wheelarch - hadn't even had it 2 weeks :'(
