Hi

I'm off on the train from Glasgow to Coventry on Saturday to pick up my first X5.  I have had loads of powerful Jap stuff in the past, then saw the light and got my first BMW 3 years ago.  A manual E39 530D.  Decided it was time to move up another 2 cyl and I'm picking up a 4.4 V8 with a BRC lpg kit.  Only on 90k and just had an MOT and had the gearbox refurbished last year.  FSH, HPI clear and just had new tyres.  So it ticks all the boxes.

Will be a big change for me as I'm used to Manual gears and being close to the ground, but I'm looking forward to it

Mick

Welcome.

All the best with the new car.

Don't forget the pics once you've got it.

Thanks and will do

Welcome aboard and congrats on the purchase.

Sounds decent and I'm a recent gas convertee so will be a nice cheap run back lol.

Hello & congratulations on your X5, enjoy 

Thanks again folks. The days are dragging in

hi, love the thought of a v8 and cheap to run in the same sentence

Full black interior with silver trim which is largely unmarked. Paint is in excellent condition for the age as well.

Excellent, glad your pleased with it & look forward to the updates, thanks for sharing piccie. 

Looks a nice base motor to start fettling with.
