my latest 62 plt X3 2.0dse is the best yet. 245 and 275 x19" RFT tyres and sport suspension are perfect , it rides so smooth and doesn,t follow the ruts like my last one did on 245,s !!!

just need to get the confidence back now !  :)

yes ,se with sport suspension ,x line ,prof nav, sport seats heated of course. much prefer the se front bumper shape all the extras I could have wished for. and od course that sport/ecomonomy/eco auto gearbox is a must.
can achieve 50mpg no problem. and it goes like stink. :)

I managed 40mpg on a run last week in eco mode and driving at a constant 70mph. Can't see it getting better than that, but still very pleased.
Get some pictures up. We love pictures :)

Sounds good - RE MPG I squeezed 665 miles out of my 20D F26 which is 45.23mpg which included predominantly motorway driving but maybe 5-10% town driving as well..

I'm happy considering the power available from this 3.0 lump :)
