Where are the high spec X5's?

[Babw]

I'm looking for a 30d,40d or M50d F15 X5 with a high spec such as -

Adaptive cruise
Heads up display
Adaptive drive
Heated steering wheel
Panoramic roof
etc

The adaptive cruise and adaptive drive seem particularly rare. If someone could point me in the direction towards a high spec car with sub 40k mileage then you'd be doing me a big favour. Even a high spec E70 will do but the adaptive cruise on these seem non existent.

Am surprised you can't find a F15 with those options, as they seem to be the sort of options that were on just about every 0-12 month old F15 I looked at last year, and for that reason I ended up buying new as I didn't want any of those 'trendy' pointless gadgets (other than the heated steering wheel which is fabulous, but comes as part of the 'winter pack' option, its not an individual option)

Whats trendy and pointless about HUD and a pano roof?

I’m after the same to replace my 640d.

Though I’d add adaptive LED’s to that list and am willing to forgo the adaptive drive, I have it on th4 640d and think it’s fairly pointless.

Stolen.

The X5 was the #1 stolen car by volume 2015. Which comes out at about 6,800 out of the 80,000 car thefts that year.

By 2016 it had dropped a bit although still in the Top Ten at around 4,000 stolen. WIth the majority not recovered, according to annual police stats.

Obviously, there's a huge variation by post code and if garaged, but all the big SUVs are a real target for the professional 'to order' car theft gangs who export them out of the UK.

I ordered my m50d new and took delivery at the beginning of this year. I specced all the options you've listed because they were important to me and I would appreciate the difference they make to the ownership experience. but I'm not sure that the average x5 owner cares for them so much. So spending (financing) £2.5k on dynamic adaptive suspension and £1.3k on the driving assistance plus to get the dynamic cruise is rare. Head up display should be easy enough because it's part of the m sport plus pack which is popular.

Also adaptive dynamic suspension (adaptive drive as it used to be known) cannot be specced with the 7 seat option and that's more popular so another reason you see it rarely.

I do agree with aeropilot that there are some highly specced cars out there but I think it's hard to find a car with the right combination of options that you want.

I've got a 50D with all that less AD but plus adaptive LED's, Harman Kardon, comfort opening, sun protection glass, comfort seats, full parking cameras, apple play and a 5 year service pack and it's a great place to be

Personally I haven't found I'm wanting for AD, the car handles pretty well as standard.

My only niggle is I wanted red leather and that's only available on the X5M

Hang on a minute...................................





Make me an offer..............66 plate, 16000 miles and in excellent condition

Aah........I've been trying to work out what the OP meant by Adaptive Drive, as there was no such option listed when I was speccing my X5 last year. I'm not even sure it used to be called Adaptive Drive before that anyway.

Actually, Adaptive Dynamic chassis cannot now be specced on anything except the petrol V8 5.0i SE and M-Sport and the M50d, no longer even an option on the 3.0d or 4.0d M-Sports let alone the SE versions like mine....!!!!

Given its a rare option anyway, I think my 4.0d SE might have been the last 4.0d X5 to come into the UK specced with the Adaptive Dynamic chassis option...!!!!

My local BMW Indy tech is selling his 4.0d, all the option your after I think. Drop me a pm for his number.
