Still miss my 4.8is.  good luck in your search and be 100% sure of the cars history before you buy. Before I bought my 4.8is I test drove Ranger Rovers ETc even the supercharged is not a match for a 4.8is, then when you get to the first corner the RR will have to brake a lot more than the X, the 4.8...

It is 177Bhp, says its the later model, what ever that means?

Just need something cheap for the wife to use that will pull a carvan and transport the dog.

Still missing the mighty V8 X  but our needs have changed now.

Thanks  Rich...

Hi not an X I know but since selling my X5, I have not found a car yet. I have the chance of a 2009 520D Se Bis Edition touring manual. It has 93,000 miles with full BMW history.

Are these any good and what problems is it likley to have or get in the future?

Thanks  Rich...

I sue to drive a 100/ 280T semi high top FWD and this would easily do over 30 mpg even at speed.

The RWDs are way down on MPG, if you want good economy and speed go for a FWD even the 100BHP could go faster than any thing else in the 3rd lane

Hi and welcome

That garages is only about 3 miles from me,

Richard...

This is my 4.8is after the wife has used it for 2 weeks, no trips longer than 5 miles mainly poping to the shops and going to work 3 miles away.

Thanks Guys. I gave the X a quick wash to take some pictures and took it for a drive as I have not driven it for over a week. It is going to be hard to let the car go it still amazes me every time I drive it, but it is for the wife to use and she need to be able to transport the dog. Driveway jewell...

[quote="GlebeCS"] I have just been out and driven my Brothers route to work, 3 miles country road followed by 15.5 miles dual carriageway and then 1.5 miles city. On the way I set the cruise at 75mph and obeyed all other limits, on that trip I got 20.3mpg , with my 7 series I can guarantee...

Hi I am in Durham City in the North East. If you are after a 4.8is all I can say is if you did travel a long way to look at this car you would not be disappointed. I know I travelled many hundreds of miles to look at "Mint" cars to find what I would describe as well below average cars. I b...

ah yes, That was my job to lift our Lab into the X5 but at 28kg, it might indeed be a little challenge.

Our Rolo is 40kgs, so very heavy.I can lift him in but the wife a 4'11" has no chance

Not really though of a price, I gave £12,500 earlier this year. It was the best car I could find and I looked at probably close to a 100 x5,s over 3 months and  travelled over 2000 miles looking for the right car Since I bough the car I have put 4 new Michelins tyres on it and a Westfalia removable ...
