Hi folks

Post by Mick.H » Thu May 09, 2013 2:27 pm

Hi

I'm off on the train from Glasgow to Coventry on Saturday to pick up my first X5.  I have had loads of powerful Jap stuff in the past, then saw the light and got my first BMW 3 years ago.  A manual E39 530D.  Decided it was time to move up another 2 cyl and I'm picking up a 4.4 V8 with a BRC lpg kit.  Only on 90k and just had an MOT and had the gearbox refurbished last year.  FSH, HPI clear and just had new tyres.  So it ticks all the boxes.

Will be a big change for me as I'm used to Manual gears and being close to the ground, but I'm looking forward to it :D

Welcome.

All the best with the new car.

Don't forget the pics once you've got it.
