Set off at 08:00, train down to Doncaster.
The owner met me at the station and gave mech lift to collect the car.
Half an hour later after all the paperwork had been signed, I was off
Filled it up with premium, reset the odometer and set off for Aberdeen.

354 miles and 6 hours later, I now have a shiny (well, needs a good clean now) X5 4.6 is sat outside my front door.

Loved every second of the trip. Power a plenty on tap. Good road holding. Very comfortable. Fantastic sound system. Sat nav works well too, first time I've used the BMW one.

Just can't understand why I've not bought one before now !!!!

Very happy with it and looking forward to more miles in it.

Was a pretty good run to get used to it.
Filled up to the brim both before I left and today. Was 384 miles to 92 litres of fuel.
I'm sure I could've got more with careful driving but was having fun with it will take it out of the tank.
