Am I correct in thinking the face-lift for the E53 took place in 2004 (04/54 plate) ?

If so what were the most obvious upgrades on the 3.0d Sport?

Also does the X5 have adjustable suspension? I have seen this ad http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1679994.htm for a 4.8is that suggests it has adjustable suspension...the ride height looks really nice on this car.

Thanks in advance

So only the 4.6/4.8is has the adjustable suspension?

So a face-lift car is the one to get?

i believe these can be remapped to around 250bhp/500lbs ft too.

Thanks - the grille looks larger too.

If the Gearbox is better then it is worth paying a bit extra for the facelift car as I understand these are the weak spot of the X5!?

Is it worth buying from the Dealer network to get the Warranty etc?
