Stuck my baby in for its inspection 2 today!!

Used a local bmw specialist, i have used him in the past with my old 328

£330 inc vat, that was him supplying all parts, very happy with that seeing it takes 8.5ltr of castrol edge

Not one problem picked up during the inspection!! superb!

i got speaking to the guy about the car after he had finished and he said i had a really good condtion X5, one of the best ones he had seen in for a long time!!

was really happy when he said that, made me think all my hard work and traveling to find the right one was worth it

happy days

Glad no issues.

Good to get such comments.

I sourced mine at 4 yrs & tbh it looked like it had lived in an automated car wash beforehand.Paintwork since sorted but it would probably appreciate another machine polish to spruce up at some point.

That's a good price. I paid £400 for the same service six months ago at a specialist indy I use in Shrewsbury and was delighted (2004 4.8is at 46k).Cheapest dealer I could find was over £600 and , frankly, I have more confidence in the indy to do the work properly.

Good news indeed Millerman and yes sounds like the trip down south was well worth the effort

@Gobiman - Just seen that your sign off states you have a Z1 any chance of a pic our 2?

It's in the Mother-in-law's garage staying out of the cold but I will be getting it out in a couple of weeks so will post one then!

Top man, look forward to them. Remember sitting in one @ a dealer in Cobham back in 1990 & loved it.

Always good to hear you've got a decent well looked after one

cheers guys i'm happy its all worked out so far!! glad i made the change to the X

i tried the local bmw stealer for prices and they were quoting £520+ so it made sense for me to go to the indy, atleast i have used him in the past.

so hopefully trouble free motoring for a good while yet ;o)

AW8 - could do with a good dry weekend to polish mine too, but as its started snowing today it may be some time lol...

on a plus note though should manage to see what she's like in the snow soon!!
