Hi Andy,

Very nice, and looks good in that sun as well. Strange to see sun up your way :p

I am also in the process of trying to obtain the Le mans sport edition. My local dealer is trying to sway me towards the beige interior, he reckons the black might make it look smaller. What are your impressions. Black was my first choice. Do you have any more interior shots that you could post or email please.

Cheers
Elliot

Cheers Elliot. It was a lovely (but freezing) day on Wednesday. Better than raining, thats for sure.

I realise this is very much down to personal taste, but I would strongly advise against a beige interior. We just traded in our Mercedes ML 270 CDi for the X5. The Merc had a nice grey interior, but it was very difficult to keep clean. Especially in the winter, with all the mud/snow/slush/rain etc we get in the UK. The floor mats especially were constantly dirty, despite regular cleaning.

I don't think the Merc looked any bigger inside than our X5 does. But I've stuck a couple of more pics of the inside on this post to help you see it in more directions.

If you want, I'll take some more pics from more angles and email them. Just say the word.

Good luck with speccing your car and whatever trim you go for, you'll love it!

Andrew

Can we see pics of rear bumper corner. I want to see how the rear bumper attached flared arch piece is done on a 3.0.

The other is the headlight leveling controller. I don't have xenon's so I need to control that myself

Was going to take more pics today but it's been a gazillion degree's below freezing here all day today. So no opportunity to take a decent (non-ice-covered) pic.

Will try as soon as poss, but very busy at work the next few days with Harry Potter (we run a Cinema).
