New Xdriver
Posted: Fri Sep 02, 2016 9:23 pm
Hi All,
I have been eyeing an X5 for a little while now. I needed a vehicle that could tow and I've had a handful of BMWs in the past, so I figured an X5 was the way to go. Test drove a handful of 3.0 Diesels and thats pretty much where I was thinking of putting my money, but I couldnt go through the process without trying a V8. Found a nice one that seemed well cared for and I headed out to test drive it. I paid a deposit there and then! Who needs fuel economy anyway? And i'll only be using it for a few thousand miles a year anyway (maybe).
E53, pre-facelift X5 4.4 - Very happy. 110k on the clock, but its tight and has been well cared for. That being said, i'll be looking at getting the gearbox fluid changed soon.
I'm in Shrewsbury, Shropshire. So HELLO from me.
