was trying to put some better pics on but its a bit choosy what it will upload!

owned the car since sept last year and the more I drive the more I like it!

looked at about 5or 6 before buying this and there are some real dogs out there and came to the conclusion that peoples idea of mint and mine are worlds apart!!-in fact one of my mates at work has just experienced the same even a train journey to Birmingham to purchase a "mint" x5-needless to say he came back on the train-he since found a cracking example and will get him to post on here!!
since owning mine I have had a remap, serviced my self as soon as I bought it, trip to stealers to fix new mirror they fit that didn't work-wont go there again-but that's another story! Webasto working, alarm chirp, got tv in motion,
spec of car -black sport plus(what's the plus?),black nappa leather ,sports  heated memory front seats, heated steering wheel,20" alloys, wide arches, rear privacy glass, climate front windscreen? auto wipers/lights, cree front sidelight bulbs, black carbon fibre badges, Bluetooth, sat nav, tv, puddle lights in mirrors and I think extra interior lights certainly has more than some I looked at! ditched the cd player and fit a connect 2 for my I phone/ipod and fit a reversing camera,  -thanks Sanj
think that's it! hopefully it will serve me well!

Bloody iPhones - 'mode' should equal 'more'.

Great looking car sprintman, was exactly the spec I was looking for but had to settle for Le Mans blue as I got sick if looking at poor condition or high mileage black and grey versions. How have you connected yr iPod and was yr reverse camera connected to the existing tv tuner??

Thanks for the nice comments guys-love the car!to answer a few questions ,reverse camera connected to the TV tuner as per Sanj,s excellent walk through , I pod connected to a connect 2 in place of the cd in boot with the wiring coming up front and I removed the ash tray and iPod goes in there,will also connect to my I phone and keeps it charged .

Forgot to mention I have recently fit a led interior light kit £30 ish from the bay all the way from shanghai free postage 9 days delivery and what a differance  well worth doing in my humble opinion! So much so my mate at work bought the same set for his x5 ! ( I reckon he lets me try the mods and if there any good he buys them after!)lol

Damn that's just like Jig getting me to try everything before he fits it. So you have mates like that too!  ::)
