First time X5 owner from Dundee, Scotland

[Rossco0506]

Hey folks, just a wee note to say hi.

Not only am I a first time X5 owner, I'm also a first time BMW owner! Been looking for an X5 for a while now but it had to be black and it had to be pre 2006 for road tax reasons! ::) Finaly found one on AutoTrader down in Dudley and drove 365 miles to collect just on Saturday past.

Ive always had sporty little hatchbacks. Handy for getting my Golden Lab in the boot but due to family getting bigger, saloons being out the question and estates looking ugly, I opted for a 4x4. X5 wins hands down on looks alone IMO. 

My name is Ross, I'm a postman, wife, 3 kids and I'm into motorbikes, falconry, parrots, gym, UFC and cars. Got no time for ball sports, if you cant get hurt or go fast, I aint interested!

Cool car, interesting hobbies too.

Welcome.

Nice Mini in the background as well. My father had a few of them and I spent more than a few afternoon's doing various tweaks on it.

Hi &  Ross.

Good looking X you have and liking the colour of the wheels. Richard (x5sport) would normally have more to say as way of a welcome but obviously his new born son is taking all his energy  ::)

That's the 'devilishly handsome twins' 

And how can you call yourself normal?  You're an Audi driver!  ::)

Hi Ross and from me too. I see the 'Chuckle Brothers' & there mum have said hi  ::) and the usual banter has started  )

Nice looking 'X' you have there. I have family further up the a92 from you, a nice part of the country.

Hope you enjoy the site

[Rossco0506]

Cheers for the warm welcome folks! 

I wasnt so keen on the wheels to begin with but they are growing on me. They are rather dirty in the pics tho as I was litterly 2 mins home after a 365 mile trip! Cant wait for some decent weather to get the showroom finish it had when I collected it.

I fancy changing the standard BMW badges to carbon black and white ones and maybe adding front and rear chrome M-tech badges too?!?!

Welcome aboard.

Nice base X to mod.

You were only down the road from me when you collected it as I'm in Wolverhampton. That's a decent trek to purchase a motor but you got to really get to know her on the journey home.

Good to have aboard! Won't ask if you'll make the meet!

[X3RIC]

Welcome, you're only an hr up the road from me. Liking the colour of your wheels against the black, hmmmmmmm refurb on the cards for me maybe.

Thought I would post some "cleaner" pics now that Ive had a chance to wash it.









Im really not so keen on the wheel colour but its just gonna have to do coz I cant afford to change them, lol.
