Must be a M-Sport then if 20" rims?

Is that it with the options list, just the 20" rims, Winter Pack, HUD and Pano roof?...... nothing else?

No audio upgrade, no reverse camera etc?

Has all round cameras and HK speakers, Auto towbar and uprated towing, whatever that is.
M sport yes,
Main dealer.

Test drive tomorrow afternoon, not sure it has air suspension as not on the details sent over.
Not seen it in the flesh yet.

Test drive went well as expected, no recalls on this car or due.
Tail gate did creak from the start but soon stopped.
Steering was very light didn’t expect that, and the power is enough for me for the size of car, had to be spritely as p/x the f type!
The towbar is mint lol.

Probably that guy who couldn't get any time off for Christmas and New Year who needed something to do in the office, where it's just 5 others and the security guard still a 66 plate, as the 17 plate starts in March... I have a 2015 car on a 64 plate, because it was registered 10 days too early

Enjoy your X5, I was surprised by how light the steering is too. You should have NBT Evo, the latest iDrive before all that hand gesture nonsense was introduced. The live information for traffic is good, it was on my 66 3 series Touring I had before.
