New X5 from Durham

Hello everyone, thought I'd best introduce myself as I've already been learning quite a lot from the threads on here.
I've picked up a 2005 3.0d SE last weekend to use as a winter cruiser. Specifically picked an X5 due to them having webastos as standard so will be attacking getting that to remote start as my first thread
It's got Panaramic Roof and the Sat Nav, and is really only missing heated seats, but that'll be job no 2 when I get round to it. Also went specifically for an 18" wheel vehicle for tyre cost/ride quality/snow performance.
Here is a couple of pics

You're quite into your heating then ... I thought everyone up in your neck of the woods drove around in winter wearing shorts / T shirt, windows down, sunroof open, complaining about how hot it is ??

Enjoy the ride ... you'll love it.
