That is awesome Ian! Beautiful new car for sure. I think your X5 will be nothing but a fond memory soon enough.

Hope all is well. Drop me a line some time.

Thanks for the coments the X will be remembered had some good times with it met a great bunch of people ! Gave me the bug for modding things!!

The trouble was it was dropping like a log in value and the fuel bill was getting a bit expensive as I have nearly a 50 mile round trip to work and at 28- 30 mpg X5 was good for it size but not good enough + the road tax thing too.

The new car has the same heart as the the old X5 they share the same engine but been upgraded so I now have 231bhp :-) So I get 0-62 in 6.7 155 MPH and nearly 40 MPG :-)

I know you guys like pictures so I will take some soon because I dont think you guys get M Sports there Might be interesting for you to see.

Hi All,

Here is a slightly better picure of my new car I must say I am loving it having fun in it but I do miss the 20inch wheels of the X5 the wheels on this look like bicycle wheels in copaired to the 315 on rear of X5

P.S Some twat scraped the rear bumper Scrath is only about a inch but that is not the point.

Looking good! Sorry to hear about the bumper scratch. I suppose it's better than if you'd done it yourself. I always feel worse when it was my own dumb mistake.
