Worth a punt - BMW X5?

Do those black spots come as standard or are they a BMW optional extra?

Martin.

It's a few spots of tyre black that has landed there.

[Mr Noble]

Very nice!!


How does it compare to the last one on first accounts J?

Nice colour, I thought you were going for the silvery silver, looks lovely in the greyer one.

[Mr Noble]

ps. Is that a very *cute* number plate I can see?

Got them on the Z4M but they are a waste on a closed car with full air con!

The whole game has moved on. Dynamically it seems better, but I have to run the engine in before I can start to really play.

The interior wreaks of quality though, and i-drive is, whilst somewhat complicated, logical and a very good way to control all the things.

The seats alone have over 15 different adjustments, and the panoramic sunroof is like having a targa top.

Well worth the money IMHO and there is nothing out there that would now come close.

As for colour, that colour *is* the new silver

Long story that involved a DVLA cock up and subsequent delay with the number plate on my first X5.

The one on there was a rushed purchase so I could have the car at the weekend two weeks after I bought it (yes, apparently if you buy the number plate they will assign it same day, if you want a normal "52" one, then you are in the lap of the gods...)

Oh, if you hadn't worked out, that second to last picture is the Head Up Display

May I suggest that a supercharged Range Rover is in a different league. Particularly inside!!!

Sorry mate, but, err, no.

I'm afraid I personally consider this interior to be far better, and also power to weight the X5 4.8 has the edge... Supercharge RR 0-60 in 7.1. X5 4.8, 0-60 in 6.4 seconds which is a massive difference!

I also said "the money". A SS RR is over £20k more expensive isn't it!

Glad to see you've finally conceded to a svelter colour than Blue Justin!

[V6GTO]

'Tis indeed a fine looking beast (even if the wheels are a bit "Bling"!)

Martin.

[joust]

It handles better on them

20" and 315's on the rear!

Blue only suits small sportcars IMHO.

Thoses wheels remind me of a GM brand....
