Time to leave BMW…

[Aluminati]

I bought my first BMW in 1982 ( library pic)


A cashmere gold 323i. Since then, I have had most versions of BMW…










You get the idea. I did stray to a Jag XFS once, but it broke within a month.

So, with the 330d X Drive getting a little tired with 172k on it, I thought I would get a new shape X5 5.0d.

Enquires sent, follow up was lacklustre from BMW dealers, to say the least.

While waiting to cross a road while walking a couple of weeks ago, I heard an Audi SQ5 derv go past, and was amazed how they made a tractor juice engine sound so …. Enginy.

So, within an hour of seeing this one, dealer had contacted me and it was purchased . Well done Audi.

Going to be a lot to learn, my hand movements are geared to BMW, looking forward to learning again.

Well, initial impressions are good. Build quality seems to put BMW to shame !
