Chaps. This is itching away at me for some reason I cannot quite fathom. Maybe it's the V8, maybe it's the double glazing, maybe its the 'f

Talk me out of chopping in an E39 530i Touring for it.

It basically is an E39 touring - just jacked up off the ground with 4wd and a big price premium
One thing I've never understood about the X5 is why it was released at the same time as the facelift E39 yet had prefacelift E39 style light clusters and no Angel Eyes or CELIS LED's - these didn't come for another 3 years. Odd.
I had one for just over a year , except for the above it was OK , handled far better than it should for it's size. I eventually got rid because it seemed to make more sense to me to run a FFRR if you're willing to live with such thirst. I did eventually own said vehicle and it was slightly better than the X5 only by 1 or 2 mpg across the board but I fully expected it to be worse , no idea how it managed it , maybe gear ratio's and the more relaxed driving style a FFRR demands
I think the RR looks so much better

What do we reckon price wise?

I know the styling is a bit 'Saga' but the car does appeal.

Ok...so it needs a proper haggle to get it down to thread budget... but in these austere times...who knows?
This is a proper smoker barge... in fact, the interior looks as if it's been made of smoking jackets.
Can't let this bad boy pass without comment. Irredeemably awful. The interior looks as though it's been made of smoking detritus, not smoking jackets (although maybe you are a velvet bow-tie sort of chap), and conflagration is what should happen to it. Just no.This is a proper smoker barge... in fact, the interior looks as if it's been made of smoking jackets.

Agreed, and I usually like uterine interiors. BeirutTaxi said:
Whatever it is, too much by half. 1) Finance repo.
2) Silver with beige is nucking fasty.
3) The service books I suspect will be conspicuous by their notable absence.

selling as not being used
On the face of it I totally understand his reasons for not wanting to drive it 
At £7k You would have to be UTTERLY MAD to buy this over a good 540i touring.
For those who think outside the E39 box - how about some proper bork potential?

W8 and 4 x 4 being it's only saving grace. Is still horrendously bland looking.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VOLKSWAGEN-PASSAT-W8-4-0...
stonking value for money S80 - under 100k and under budget as well? Granted not the most exciting thing on 4 wheels, but must be the possible king of wafting that isn't an S-class?
