Hello and thanks

Post by psychosis » Wed Oct 17, 2012 11:38 pm

Just a quick hello from me - picked up my X5 last week and have been busy getting her the way I want. Thanks to the information on here have managed to get all the interior lights changed to LED's and I have an Intravee and iPod adaptor waiting to go in at weekend.

Car is a 2004 4.4i Sport with 70k on the clock. Seems to have been looked after well so far and I hope to keep up the good work of the previous owner.

Picture below (this was the picture from dealer as not had time to get any new pictures)

Welcome and congrats. Glad you've found the site useful and more importantly have already started modding it.

Welcome.

They seem to do that colour in two shades, a shiny like yours and some sanded down version like Sanj  :))

Welcome aboard.................A tidy 4.4i facelift a sensible & great choice IMO :)

Best colour for everyday use if not able &/or willing to spend every day cleaning it to keep it looking semi presentable.
