E70 September 2008 3.0SD versus E70 November 2008 Xdrive 35D

[Jusbok]

Hi Guys,

I have done a bit of searching and cannot find the relevant info I need in regards to this exceptional circumstance.

I have a "situation".

I was looking at replacing my 03 E53 4.4i that I have had for the last 5+ years.

A month ago I came across a higher KM E70 3.0SD September 2008 build.

It was at a dealership - never bought from one before - but price seemed good and the lure of the bullsh!t warranty they sell you seemed good at the time.

The car was advertised as a 2009 Xdrive 35d.

On the contract of sale -build date states 2009, model states 2009 Xdrive 30d

I thought nothing of it - but later when decoding the VIN etc the car year comes up as 2008....

Can someone clarify what build dates they stopped making the 3.0sd and started making the xdrive 35d?

I'm in Australia and fair trading said that if the year on the contract doesn't match the year on the car I can have my money back from the dealer.

The dealer keeps telling me its an Xdrive but I can see where they debadged the 3.0sd badge....

Advice??

Thanks again.

Justin
