Jumped ship

Hi all,

I have been an active member on the X6 forum as I was intending to get into one of those new babies.
However, I have been constantly debating the car due to it's lack of 3rd seat in the rear.
One minute I was having it & it would not be a problem, the next minute I wasn't so sure.
In the end I opted to offload our ML63AMG & get back into an X5.

looking for the best deal & the nicest car available I finally stumbled across this beauty which I am collecting next week.
It is a 4.8SE (which I wouldn't normally go for as I don't like all the black plastic) but this car really stands out from the crowd.

Please let me know your opinions on the car, I would normally change the kidney grill if it is black to aluminium finish but the high gloss painted grill on this car really works, I think.

Anyhow, enjoy the pics & let me know your thoughts.

Look really great, but personally I'd fit the titanium grille. The interior is the same as mine.

Veeeery nice. It does stand out. I'd keep the black grill on for now and if you ever get bored of the looks, you'll know what to do first

Titanium gril will suit better. If you keep this gril you have to paint other silver colored details on front and put on black rims. But, it is only my opinion...
