Had my new X5 4.8 for a few weeks now and thought it was about time to join the forum.

I went for the Le Mans Blue and love it - even after 1 flat tyre and a niggle with gear box. When i put the car in manual mode the upchange is very stiff. Spoke to the dealer and happy that they'll sort it out during the next service.

I'll try and get some pictures when it's clean, but finding it hard to keep the sand off. Had a crazy sand storm the other day.

Cheers!!
