just realised mine has the newer idrive but the pre lci bumpers so can't be an lci, so the new idrive must of been available before the lci came out.

there all 8 speed, I got confused with mine as the lci came out in March 2010, mine was built in February 2010 so pre lci but with the later idrive.

Hey everyone
I've been on here as a guess for long time, whilst researching my first BMW

I'm still torn between X5 and Touareg (I know they are quite different), but if the right X5 will come I'm going for it. I've seen a few, but they all had some problems with them which put me off.
Anyone knows of good E70? Ideally I'd like 2008+, 3.0D+ (preferably 35 or 30SD), Heated Comfort seats, around 100k miles with FSH (if documented I don't mind higher mileage) ... and my budget is £10k (and could stretch bit further for the right car).
Where are you in the UK? I may be selling mine and it definitely fits your requirements.
Cheers

Ah okay. I am in Bristol.
I have a 2008 X5 SD M sport with 101k on it. In two minds about selling. Have just put 4 new tyres on it!

Distance would be doable. Can you please share some detail about the car? Do you have some photos? Price?

I was following with interest, where is the best place to sell these days? (09 SD, 70k) Pistonheads, autotrader?
Been a long time since I last sold privately but a trade in at £9500 doesn't appeal!
