Another Newbie X5 Owner
Posted: Fri Mar 21, 2014 4:43 pm
Hi all, just thought I'd say hello.
Picked up my E53 55 plate X5 this morning. 3.0d SE with what seems like a lot of extras (TV/Sun Roof thing/ Heated Seats and Steering wheel/20 inch wheels / Bluetooth...it goes on
)
Not my first 4x4 but the most refined I've owned. Ive been through a 2.5 Pajero (very agricultural) 2.5TD Discovery 2 and a 3.2 Shogun. All good, but all very obviously big rattly diesel engines. I know everyone mentions the fuel consumption, but compared to the 3.2 shogun its a little bit better. Im a bit surprised by how small the boot is, but I can live with that... It means the dogs have to go in the back of the wifes car instead
)
Anyway Ill be posting in the E53 forum so just thought Id say Hi!
