X5 3.0D

[Lyons]

TT sorted.

Also an X5 3.0D. 04/05 facelift model, or early 06 (cheap tax). Must be automatic. Ideally black leather, but other than that I'm not fussy on spec etc. 1 or 2 owners only and full history. Would like something around the 80k mark, but would go higher dependant on price. Owners and history are key.

you don't ask for much do you ?

 

[Lyons]

No harm in asking .

 

[G N K]

And rightly so.

This concrete now Ian?

An X5 properly looked after with few owners is like asking for a 16 year old virgin

They don't exist or have a story they ain't telling lol

 

[Lyons]

Pretty much...today anyway .

Helpful info from a 3.2 owner on here has convinced me its the right choice. Despite at @Gaz putting me off them last week!

They are out there but!

Just buy that techno violet very M3 and be done with it

 

[Lyons]

That would impact on the X5 budget greatly but!

@RickyB is bound to know a nice X5 for sale, he had a clinker a couple of years back that i looked at

 

[Lyons]

Aye theres bound to be good ones getting traded in all the time by folk that got them new then continued to get them serviced at BM.

I have one but it's not for sale, looked a long time to get her though!

 

[Lyons]

I'm in no rush for it luckily, would prefer the TT first.

Careful what you wish for Ian, TTs are not family friendly for when the X5 lays down, not a case of it, when.

 

[And1]

I liked the X5s too and there's brendy just put me off, plenty of TTs around to be choosy I was looking back in March

Dad has a late 2005 individual sport x5 think we spent in the region of £1500 to leave it "right" and still more to do, they are endless money pits. He also has a TT 225 as a daily and to be fair apart from a few electrical issues its been spot on.

Our 4 year old A6 needed a new steering rack. No car is 100% reliable, if you were afraid of everything you might as well just cycle.

From what I can gather with the 04/05 model there's nothing too common that costs thousands to fix.

[Boabybooster]

If you are buying an X5 of that era buy a 4.8is with an LPG conversion.

Yes.

Your money, your choice but Im reserving the right to at least a dozen 'I told you so' posts.

[brendy]

I want some too.

Mmm, you can have one and photocopy it

 

[Boabybooster]

Yes.

He's not had it long anyway.
