New member with x5 4.8
 

Hi I was told about this fourm through JAson at BW chiptune and a few other X5 owners so here I am. Although I am not new to world of BMW's I am new to the X5 lol! Anyway here is pic of my mrs x5 I have just got for her and a few pics of my current 750 and my old e60 545. I'll post pics up of my other BMW's that I have owned over the year later. :-)

well as we now have a lovely GSD the 330 vert just didn’t cut it with having him travel with us so it went up for sale and sold within a few days. Swiss managed to find this example for me so on Saturday we did a mission up to Liverpool to pick her up (popped down to see Raj on the way back)
Anyway the spec is good

Drive back was jokes a 4*4 just shouldn’t be that quick chasing my friend in his m3 was fun although not as quick as my 750 the X5 is not a slow car!

This is the reason for the x5 nearly 8 months now cheeky git!

I'll keep you updated of mods and of course i'll be trying to get some inspiration from you guys!

Congrats and welcome!!! Your rides look very suh-weet and tasty!

Man those things are nice. The interior in the the 5 is awesome. But your x is beautiful.

very nice cars.

Congrats and welcome aboard...impressive custom work. Not too many performance options available for the 4.8iS unless you can convince a tuner to undertake the challenge of fabricating a forced induction system. Otherwise, do a search on here for plenty of cosmetic and performance mods.

Looks sick. Love the inside of the 330.

Hopefully you got a good deal, your steering wheel is on the wrong side! :bustingup

Nice cars, welcome aboard.

I love those seats. Is this a BMW color or they have been re-dye?

Hey man...your steering wheel is on the wrong damn side....lol...no...seriously...welcome to the forum and what a great machine that you have their....let the bloody modding begin!

Rich:thumbup:

Looks like cinnamon interior

I had it re trimmed by a friend of mine its country brown I had the wheel done at the same time and black stitching to mach the colour of th ecar. I may re trim the x5 in its current colour but have the stitching done in red...all depends how far I want to take it as its a work horse (but i dont see that happening lol)
