Bizarrely it was sold new in NSW Australia and somehow made it's way to Team McMillian BMW sometime in late 2004, where it was subsequently regularly serviced.

I set out to buy a LCI 3.0d - the best engine for the X5, but couldn't find a low km one at all, plus they command , quite rightly very high prices, even for ones with high km's.

Then I moved on to V8's, which I would have bought, but again high km, poor condition ones are every where - then I found this 3.0 one.

It has been great to drive around in, I bought it for outdoor stuff, family etc - and in fact I have been driving it more than my 5 series!

Cheers
