Third e; First 53

Yep, as of Thursday night, and a 1000 miles later; my 2004 4.8is is home!







Can't wait to delve in.. right now I'm just cleaning up the e34 for the new owner. It just received an interior scheme similar to the e53.

I'm going to have so many questions; just you get ready

Congrats and welcome, I'm new to the club as well. I love the Blue and the sport seats in yours. Have fun!

Nice!! Congrats. That interior is sweet and goes really well with the paint color too - Lemans Blue?

Yeah that looks to be lemans to me

Awesome, one of my favorite X5s made. I love the creme interior.

I do also wish they made the caramel interior (like the e39 M5) for the X5. It'd be pretty cool!

I personally don't like the M5 caramel. I think I could hang with the caramel seat color if the entire carpet area was black, much like the 2-tone Audi A6 / A8 interior with similar color.

Agreed with having carpet black. My father had a lemans M5 with the caramel interior and the caramel carpet was a bit much

Nice! Ya I'm pumped. The Natural Poplar looks amazing in this interior

I can't believe how quick the 4.8(is) is.. It's awkward when you accelerate below 2k rpms and it looks like you're racing away

I like the Caramel, but it almost has to be a Ferrari or Porche to pull off Caramel.

I did see a Highland Green 4.4 that had a black interior with tan leather - pretty sweet. A little more modest than the Caramel. And at this point it wouldn't make sense getting anything but a 4.8!
