2005 X5 4.8is Le Mans Blue

[dinger205]

I've had this over a year now and its been a pleasure to own,
Finished in un marked Le mans blue with Black Nappa leather, Huge spec which is as follows

Heated Electric memory Black nappa sports seats
Widescreen professional satnav ( updated 2013/14 discs)
Freeview TV
Voice control
Bluetooth telephone
Front and rear parking sensors
Panoramic roof and fully working
Rear air conditioning
Rear Aux socket
All 3 mirrors are chronographic and electric folding
Auto wipers
Auto light
Adaptive Bi xenon headlight
DSP audio system
Intravee and alpine converter for Ipod/Iphone
Factory rear glazing tinits
Factory fitted Tow bar
Automatic garage door/gate opener,
Factory colour coded interior trim

Mechanically the car is sound, no nasty noises or knocks, it accelerates affortlessly and brakes straight without wobbles or vibration,  The MOT advised that the from wishbone bushes were worn so these will be replaced before sold.

Bodywork wise it is unmarked, no stone chips scratches or dents, 

The car is fully loaded with 97k on the clock with full service history (BMW to 75k, Independant after) and needs for nothing,
Recent work carried out
Alloys refurbished in genuine colour
Front brake pads and discs
New front windscreen

Everything works as it should and as you would expect,  Tyres have plenty of tread left
11 months MOT and 5 months tax.

This is the ultimate 4X4 which surprisingly returns 19 MPG round town and 25 on a run,









More pics on request and will get some interior shots in the light.

Price,, £9300

I will be in the market to buy a 4.8is in either LeMans or Estoril blue early in 2014 - so maybe we could do a deal!  The spec looks perfect for me, but would love to see some pics of the interior esp steering wheel, drivers seat...

What's replacing it?

Nothing interesting really,

I built a race car last year and managed to race the last to events of the year, but it is clearly more costly to race than I origonally planned for,
My plan was to use the X5 as my tow car but there is alot of stuff that goes with racing and the X5 soon fills up, and its not really fair on a car of this type to abuse.  SO I wont!!

Instead, its getting sold, the money raised will buy an E90 330 sport saloon as our family car and a small van to tow the race car.

Then sell the wifes  car and build a stupidly quick race engine for the Clio.

I'd love to keep the X5 and it saddens me to sell it but my priority at the minute is my racing.

Sound simple? Lol

Did it come with the centre console sprayed up? And the gear knob or did you do it?
