Re: Thanks...

[quote="X5Sport"] Enjoy whatever you buy next, and don't be a stranger.......I drive a Skoda these days (although I still have the X6). As to the thanks, it's all part of the service and if I helped in even a small way then that's enough.. :) [/quote] I've got the M235i and I'm enjoying it...

Thanks...

Now that I've sold the X5 ( http://xdrivers.co.uk/forum/https://xdrivers.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=44.msg138008#msg138008 ), just a quick 'thank you' to all the people who have helped me on this forum since February, especially X5Sport, whose generosity seems endless. This has been an excellent pl...

Re: I am thinking about selling my X5 and would really appreciate some advice please

Take a look on Autotrader. Find other similar cars to yours and price it accordingly. If you believe your car has something that would make it slightly more attractive to a buyer, try adding on a few quid. Oh - and don't advertise it for less than mine (see below) - your not the only person trying t...

**SOLD** - 2004 X5 - facelift version - 3.0 Sport, petrol

***SOLD*** I know I've only owned her since March, but I've truly enjoyed every moment. I've spent about £1,000 making her nicer, so I'm selling at a real loss, but I've realised I'm just a sports car person, so I've bought me a BMW M235i :) Comfortable, practical, in excellent condition for the age...

Re: ***WANTED*** Facelift E53 X5

I've just put mine up for sale. It's a 2004 facelift, but it's done nearly 100,000 miles, so you may not be interested. Having said that, I think it's a very good car and it's in very good condition.

Here's the advert - http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... 7145861386

Re: New calipers?

Not wishing to be frivolous, but I prefered it when the title said 'caplipers'. I'm going to start a campaign - Bring Back The Caplipers.

[quote="AW8"] ....What next - Canned laughter ??? [/quote] I don't know if you watch Gardeners' World on Fridays, with Monty Don, but there's canned birdsong throughout the entire show, so I reckon canned laughter already exists on TG, in the audience bits. You don't think people actually ...

Re: New top gear

For me, Chris Evans was always going to be a disaster, because I don't warm to him and his showing off. Matt leBlanc was good, I like Sabine Schmitz and I thought the 'spin off' show, Extra Gear, online on BBC3, had potential, with Rory Reid, Chris Harris and Sabine - as long as they stop trying to ...

SOLD - my Nissan 370z (2010)

SOLD Well, I've owned the X5 for a couple of months now and decided I can live with it, so my beloved 370z is being advertised for sale. I'm asking for £16,750 , £16,250 . I'm really only selling her because I need to transport my wife & new granddaughter quite regularly and the Z is a 2-seater....
