Hi all.

Sorry, not my first post! 

This is my first e70 (had 4 e53's) and love it so far. Bit disappointed with fuel consumption  :blink: but ordered a chip box which in my experience improves things a bit (I know that will upset you remappers!) ill report back when it's fitted

Good to see you giving your fellow X5ers a bad name by bumping it up the kerb!

I did that once in a loan V8 cayenne. The pedestrian actually spat at it!!!

Ha  :)) the previous owner bumped it up the kerb, it's one of the auto trader pics. I took the one where it looks like I crashed it  :blink:

Spitting at my car would be quickly followed by a couple of teeth I think O:-)

I remember parking my old estoril blue Clubsport while my wife and I met up with some friends and coming back to find someone had spat all over the drivers door.

I always thought estoril was nice too  ::)

Estoril is probably my all time favourite colour! Land rover copied it with Monte Carlo blue but discontinued it in 2004 - obviously not everyone's bag...

Welcome along.

Nice colour and I do like those wheels.  I'm sure after you have finished pampering it, it will look even better  :thumbsup:

had another pop today so starting to look something like. Wheels need a really good polish/ possibly refurb
