Hello from Cheshire

Hi Folks,
Just saying hello.
After me and my other half swapped from an Impreza STI to an e46 M3 SMG last summer (our first BMW) I was impressed with our 'new' car, so I began looking at X5's to replace my JDM Forester STI '04.
Three weeks ago I made the change and now have a black 3.0D sport on a '55 plate with 63k on the clock. It's grey leather inside with Sat Nav. A familiar spec on these I'm sure.

Sorry for the crap pic - and it's barely been clean since I got it either!


I've been very pleased with it so far and it's proving a good family chariot, if somewhat more of a sedate drive compared to the 300bhp Forester. The fuel costs of the X5 are a bonus though, which might not be something all new owners would say!

We're also loving the M3 and I'm on m3cutters forum a fair bit with that.

Cheers
Iain

Hello from East Cheshire :-)

Nice to see another proper coloured X on the forum; none of this namby pamby manpink rubbish  ;)

Having had an Impreza turbo myself, many moons ago (got an Evo VI after that, which was even madder LOL) and then gone down the E46 route - albeit a lowly 330d version LOL - I can empathise. 

The X6 M50d is my 4th BMW on the trot - they are a great 'driving' car.

Enjoy.  And get your name down for the April meet in the Midlands.

:hi: and hi Iain,

Good to see another new member.  I've had a couple of black and a grey X5s in the past so went the route of fire breathing red this time, snipez has an issue with his manhood, so forgive his man pink comments!  You have found a great site for banter, information and generally a good community.
