hey everyone, thought i'd throw up some pics of the x5!

X5 4.8is AC Schnitzer.  Do any meets happen UK wide at any point?

Welcome.....you'll have Raj spending all your money on Mods now..... )

There are occasional meets on an 'irregular' basis.

Hi and welcome, Fantastic looking 4.8 you have their, love the wheels.
There has just been a meet recently ( London area ) you will have to keep an eye out for news of another.
Bit of a hike from North Yorkshire though.

haha thanks ah the schnitzer bits were factory specified...I'm a bit anal about keeping it factory standard!

Horizon, I come down quite a bit (down now in fact) so that's not too much of an issue!

Wow love the car is it lowered ??? Oh and welcome

Thanks Wilko nah its totally standard, but has the all-round air suspension so is adjustable...might have been in 'access mode' so raises up when it starts

love it! where you at in north yorkshire theres a few of us up here lol

Harrogate here! how about yourself?

oh not too close then im over on the coast between whitby and middlesbrough

not THAT far! 

I've not had a proper look around the site as yet, but are there many other 4.8's about?

yeh there is quite a few about, also a few rip off merchants such as myself with derveburners clad in 4.8is goodies

haha excellent 

did consider getting it changed to LPG but holding off for now!  before the X5 I had an 840ci so not naive about the fuel consumption! although...driving on the motorway its fine...but round town....

tbh, im trying to get a job at the miute which will bring my weekly comute miles from 300 to 15 so if that happens i will need a v8!  you must be used to the noise, and i had a petrol/lpg before this one it was good but a little flat been the 3.0i

Jobs are a pain just now!  Good luck in getting something you want

The noise is very muted actually, it has an AC Schnitzer exhaust which was factory spec...so is a little grunty when it is first started (blips with a grunt) and under full throttle sounds like a scolded elephant! haha

ac.  I get the feeling you're going to fit in here really quickly.
