I've been swithering over a new family car for AGES now and was beginning to feel like dickycox everytime i asked about an X5 with similar Q's

Anyways i finally bit the bullet and bought this beauty on tue!







Its a 3.0 litre petrol sport model. Has loads of options, xenons, running boards, load tray, parking sensors blah blah. 2001 Y with only 45k on the clock
FBMWSH including a service which the guy did for the original price of asking!
4 almost new tryes
privacy glass
tow bar(including gay chrome cover )

Overall i LOVE IT!

Now a MASSIVE thanks goes to Carlo for advice but especially the wonderful Maria. She did a check through the BMW system for all records and she also ran me a full hpi check etc! What an absolute star! Thanks again!

I also have the car booked in for an lpg conversion on 4th august. It'll make the fuel costs FAR more easy going!

oh and when driving it feels great knowing you are better than everyone else on the road

chop

 

Nice car

 

Very nice mate!

How much is the lpg conversion costing you if you dont mind me asking?

 

i do really like these....does it feel really big to drive???

i drove a new range and it felt HUGEEEE

 

Very nice, like that

 

btw the plate came and is staying. i dont want it. anyone wants it then shout!


cheers
dont mind at all. i'm getting an OMVL system with a 95litre tank fitted for Ł1850! Bargain imo! at 20mpg say it'll take me only 14000 miles to pay itself off.
i phoned Jonnybravo from here who fits another type of kit but their company wanted Ł2350 ish. i'll take the Ł500 less chance thanks!

yeah it feel big mate but i guess its getting used to it that counts. i hired a rangie sport earlier in the year to go to man u as you know. it felt strange but you soon get into it. its great imo!

 

Good shout,, i was using a diesel one last week and was loving it! My new company car is a poor mans X5,, and ford kuga

 

max
as you know i wanted a mondy but the mrs changed her mind. glad she did as it rocks!
i quite like the kuga tbh!

 

i'll take an ounce when your ready guy!

Nice motor

 

Yeah i do too,, and there cheap road tax too for a 4x4 at Ł170! It looks well,,, similar colour to yours but with an appearance pack which gives it 18s and privacy

 

pmsl


max
Ł170 is cheap!
i'm not 100% but i think lpg should reduce mine a bit.

 

Take a photo of yourself stood next to it with your thumbs up - and post it to Gordon Brown with the words 'Get Fucked' on the back.

I gotta say though, you're gunna look like some country toff driving that. You'll be a class up on the Range Rover owners.

 

Class!

 

Looks a nice car Chop you will quickly get use to the size on open roads, its just parking and in multi stories i noticed how big they were.

 

Thank god you never got a Kia Sportage. Very nice car.

Benni.

 

Very nice !!

 

Saw this thing at Chops last night - its very nice ...

Bloody BMW drivers

 

i very much doubt it mate....i love X5s but Range Rovers are a league above i feel.

 

Last pics of mine took this morning after a bufty session, think im going to miss it but not the fuel bill

 

Nice Oh and welcome to the club

 

Glad you got it mate looks nice

 

Really?

Now you mention it, I suppose these new poncy 'Sport' Rangeys are pretty high up the food chain.
Still dont have a BMW badge though and in my mind nothing built by Landrover is ever going to be a 'prestige' car, no matter how many yanks and celebs buy em.. they're still just luxury sheep transport.

 

oooooh its pwetty!!!


pleased you got it all sorted!!

 

looks very nice.

good job you are going for the gas conversion.

 

Awesome motor Chop.


Maria is awesome at helping out! I would love one, but just dont want the running costs lol.

 

looks good mate!

 

best of luck with it Chopnice jeep

 

looks a cracker M8

 

very nice mate

 

n1 chop

Shame they're complete shite. After doing some research on them last year when I fancied one and the grief two of our friends have had with theirs. I wouldn't touch one with a very VERY long barge pole.

Do these X5's come with the optional indicators?

 

Chopski,

I take it the revison for the BMW wanker test paid off!

Question 1: You are waiting to pull onto the main road from a side street and there is small gap. Do you:

a. Wait for a safer gap to appear
b. Edge out and hope the other car flashes you out
c Fuck em all, Im in a BMW and I will do as I please.

 

ive just got a 52 plate 3.0 petrol sport x5.

drive very well.

see how long it lasts-my 4 year old has begged me to keep "the big bmw" along with "the red racing bmw".

 

Looks well chop!

whats happenin with the 'cos'

 

YAY....the new team bus has arrived I do like it Chop, it looks well. Towbar too BONUS !!!

 

have you driven one, like steerin a boat across stormy waters! looks good but build quality is shocking for the price tag, comfy seats though. X5 is typical BMW, drivers car.

 

What are you doing!?!?!?!?!?!? NNNoooooooooo!!!!!

Boy, Elaine gets a toasting from me everytime I see her in her rangey, boy your gonna get it! PMSL!!!

Get rid of that stupid flipping road tyres and get some BF Goodridges Mud wreakers and take yer '4x4' offroad far it's supposed to be!

for sure mate, you know how to find me

yeah yeah!
[snob mode] i guess you cant afford a bmw then?[/endsnobmode]

ROTF

my 3 year old LOVES jeeps. My grandma has an old maverick that dad borrow and takes him in. Every damn jeep on the road is now a maverick. He said "daddy is that your maverick?" when i brought it home. He's now learning "x5"!

waiting for bushes from ford

yeah big bonus

hahahahaha you think i can get pelters and we can be friends? LOL
aye i'll be the new tow boy

 

Yes i have driven one my little cousin has the supercharged one i have driven loads..i havent said they dont have problems going wrong. but im just going from what i have been in. BMW will always make good solid reliable cars and i love them i was looking at getting one too but i just said i thought the ranges were the next level up..

Lambchop - What did you think of that Range you hired for the footy match??
