X5 7str 35d experience?

Not exactly the same car but we have the f25 x3 35d m sport. Only had it since september but it is a great car, we looked at the x5 but didn't really need the extra size as the boot didnt feel that much bigger.
The engine is great, the power in sport mode is instant and it flies when you floor it. The economy is quite good too when you consider the engine size.
I don't think you will be disappointed one bit if you buy one

Going to view a 2011 X5 40d M Sport tomorrow, apparently, with almost £8k worth of options :)

Ah, the mats :lol:
 
Id test both the 30d and 35d and see if you can feel a real difference- as if not it will widen your search. Depending on your budget you should also try an F15. See you on xdrivers :thumbsup:

Pretty much got my mind set on a 40d now, if I went for one of the others, I'd only be wanting more...

We've got a E70 X5 40D M Sport. Not mine (my fathers). He loves it. Plenty of power, looks the business, plenty of options too! Like the front and reverse cameras! Only thing we're considering doing is getting a set of winter wheels. Annoyingly they got rid of the spare wheel and changed tyres to runflats. More space in the back than the E53 but not sure it's more comfortable. Right PITA to keep clean as its white!

Check out Xdrivers, there is someone selling a set of winters that look almost brand new.

Thanks for the heads up! You talking about the 19's? There in Cumbria! A little bit out of our way! I'm searching frequently on eBay and gumtree for them ideally within 50miles as we're quite close to London (more people, so hopefully more chance) and then repeat with 100mile radius. Missed a few good ones but hoping to grab a steal soon as winter is coming to a close. Thanks again tho! :thumbsup:

Ticks most of my boxes, plus it has a towbar and the upgraded towing pack, which I believe includes an extra radiator and is stupidly expensive?

Only fly in the ointment is the Nevada Leather, which I quite like the look of, but with Titan Silver? Good or bad?

Seriously, £20k for a car that was only 3 years old last week.. However, I doubt it will drive anywhere near as well as the X5...

Hmm..
