Took delivery of my late 2003 ex Japan X5 3.0i a couple of weeks ago. Genuine 35,000Kms as far as I have been able to confirm. Looks and smells like new inside.
I have been driving an E240 for the past 4 years but decided I needed something a bit higher off the ground and bigger wheels to handle the roads we have. I looked at the Mercedes MLs but they didn't do it for me. There are not so many X5 in the market here and it took a while to find a good one.
I have to say it is a superb vehicle and I wish I had bought one years ago.
Just a few issues, like the Japanese FM radio and SatNav which I will deal with in due course and the really irritating beeping which happens whenever I select reverse. Something that seems common to all Japanese cars.
Reading through the forum has given me lots of useful info and I will be sure to ask when I need any advice.
