My wife wants all Porsche's in our stables again...love the X5 but happy wife...etc. etc.

Anyway, here's my CL ad I posted earlier today:

2006 BMW X5 4.8is in rare Imola Red

Only X5 to have been around COTA! (professionally driven by Porsche Club of American officials...3 parade laps only)

Circuit of the Americas slow laps - YouTube

Love this truck: had it a year, have a unique opportunity to purchase a rare Porsche, so selling my X5 to do so.

Paid a few thousand more than this nearly a year ago, & have nicely upgraded the car since then as-follows:
-New front control arms, front pads & rotors, ball joints, and two alignments to get the tracking perfect.
-Nice Design 87 factory 20" 4.6is wheels, painted gunmetal to match the body trim, with fresh Bridgestone 275/315 tires
-Leather bathed in Mink oil monthly: you won't find better, softer, better preserved.
-Added BMW trailer hitch and plug-n-play wiring harness ($1000+)
-Lots of recent maintenace due to 100k interval

103,700 miles, driven daily. Current inspection/registration
has dark (legal) tinted windows, adaptive HID headlights, bright foglights, Sat-nav, 6-disc CD changer + cassette (not sure why the cassette...but hey...). Great on-board computer: we average about 18mpg in the city...22mpg highway.

Imola Red 4.8is' are VERY hard to find. the M-version X5 before they were badged...360hp, 378tq, very quick and can be hand-shifted or left in Automatic mode.

I'll update with more pictures tomorrow once I wash her: a week's worth of dirt/dust.
