Hi Glen and welcome :)
I have the same year and model car and love it, mine is grey though.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy driving mine :)

Well I picked up the x5 Saturday.
What an absolute pleasure to own this car, love the auto hold
And Jesus how easy it is to speed in this car gotta keep one eye on the speedo.
I will do some photos later be for me the best view of this car has to be it's ARSE  :biggrin:

The horizon can approach somewhat rapidly - and effortlessly - if you let the 8sp box and both blowers loose.  The HUD in my X6 has served to remind me on a couple of occasions that you cannot do 'V1.............Rotate.....' though it's fun getting that quick.

Certainly fun but sadly no HUD

Looks very sharp!
I get what your saying the ARSE, I deliberately park mine so I can goke over the fence!
They do drive surprisingly well on the twisties

Hi

Looks good in silver.

You mentioned no HUD and I think BMW may do a retro fit kit no idea of cost but may be worth a call. I find it good to have, only downside is the Mrs knows what speed I'm doing  :))
