I sold the X5 last night.
Driving home last nite without the X5 and late into the night I was pondering whether I made a mistake in selling her. We had her since new and she was also the corner stone of our family outings. She saw pretty much the birth of both of our kids and many many adventures. I was surprised how attached I was once she's gone. I'm kinda bummer out about it............. but it was time for us to have moved on.
So what did we get........... a nicely loaded 2008 Mini Cooper S Clubman with 20K km on it for a great deal. So it's a HUGE change.......... but maintenance and operational costs will be WAY down. And she's a stick.......... which will likely get me tickets. She's black with silver stripes and will look nice beside my 1988 E30 M3 that's black on black. But I still have pangs today from dumping the X5. Can't believe she's gone......... can't believe I feel that strongly about her. I think I need help !!!
Anyways, I feel it's necessary to thank everyone here for all the help and the resources. This has been by far one of the better forums I've had the pleasure of making use of and it's helped out in so many ways with problems and issues we had with the X5 through it's life.......... instead of getting raped by the stealership. So thanks again. AND, shameless last post to mention I have a set of rear sport lights with the white upper off my 2002, white side markers and the centre console storage bin replacement part if anyone in interested........... make me some offers via email please.
