Hi Folks, just joined this forum today as I collected my 2005 X5is yesterday. This is my second X5 as I had the 4.6 a few years ago but changed it for an E60 M5. To cut a long story short my wifes recently had our baby daughter and tbh the winters we get up in aberdeen are not the type you want to be driving an M5 in!!! So that left me with two options,
1). A Range Rover Sport
2). An X5
Had to be the X5 as I just cant see better than BMW. I also have a Ducati 1098 Tricolore which is shortly to be tucked away for the winter, Im based up in Aberdeen so any local lads say hi and I look forward to hopefully contributing to the forum aswell as having all my questions answered by all the experts out there!! Cheers for now. Richard :D

Hi and welcome

I love the colour as well as the wheels :-)

The M5 is very nice that or a black one would be my choice !
