Thanks very much for the warm welcome. TBH I know very little about the X5 (I was looking for a RR Sport  :o  )

Previous BMW's were a 520 & a 325 ci, previous 4x4's were LR SIII, a couple of RR's and a couple of Troopers.

Not sure what model it is exactly, I think it's a sport, but it seems to have lots of gizmo's (Sat Nav/TV, big sun roof, Auto lights & wipers, Self levelling suspension, Leather etc ) Very pleased so far. :)

Hi and welcome.

Looking at your X, I think it is a Sport as I believe those were the standard wheels on Sports models.  If you have memory seats with moveable thigh bolster than very likely and if you have a black roof lining than I would say its a sure thing.  May you have miles of great driving if your fine looking X.
