Congrats on your same but new ride... It is exactly like mine except for the running boards which I'm thinking of doing as well..they look great were they factory install and if so how much extra? :thumbup:

Steved 06-07-2005 03:11 PM

It was all factory installed, so the running boards only cost £215 pounds.

We drove 2000 miles to Switzerland and back in the BMW loaner and I couldn't fault the comfort seats on a long journey.

When are you getting yours?

Glad the seats live up to the name. Mine should be here the end of this week or sometime next week. Already planned the window tinting and have the V1 and stealthone waiting...
I like that drop, anyone know wher I can get it done around Chicago?

Wicked 4.8is there Steved. My next X5 will definitely be a 4.8.
Where do you recommend getting front windows tinted as I wish to do this to my 04 4.4 (around London area preferable).
Also can anyone recommend a good headrest monitor and dvd installer and who does'nt charge an arm and leg for the previledge along with a supplier of an upgraded digital tv tuner to replace my oem BMW analogue one.

I'm getting my front windows tinted by 'Old School Windscreens' in Surrey Click Here it's only £94 incl Vat and the quality is top standard. I had it done on previous X5 too.

For Digital TV upgrades and installation of DVD's etc I can recommend Tim at Mobilecentre Click Here . You can talk to other owners who've been customers of their work at www.bm3w.co.uk.

nice ride steve, love the color (and no not because I used to have an '01 that color or because I have an '04 Corvette Le Mans Commemorative either! :) )

Can I ask what a 4.8 goes for in the UK? It must be one expensive investment....

Steved 06-07-2005 05:23 PM

Thanks gresch, the 4.8is cost me just over £64,000. :eek:
