Re: High mileage issues???

Bought mine two months ago with 90k, seems perfect to me! Runs very well and only cost 10500 for full spec 4.6is!

Bull Bar

Does anyone know what the bar is on this X5.

I think it looks like a nice little touch.

Re: V8 glug glug glug ...

I did love the noise my M3 made but cant see the tinny rasp effect working on an X5. I mean a V8 is meant tosound deep and dirty, not tinny rasp!! Thats put me off a tad!!

Is de'cating it not an option?

Re: V8 glug glug glug ...

Looked into it ... to buy it, get it shipped and then fitted is over £2000! Don't think i can justify spending that sort of money on a car that'l be worth less than £10000 next year!

So, where cani get some info about one of these X pipes?

[quote=""Sanj""]Yes, a previous forum member called alfamale will probably be joining soon and he had just done one on his V8.[/quote] Great. I'll keep my eyes out for him! Cheers! Also is it worth buying a k&n panel filter? I've always found mixed reviews about filters for c...

Re: V8 glug glug glug ...

That looks pretty good! Shame it has the double tail pipes! I specificly looks for an X5 with the rectangular tail pipes.

Maybe i'll email them and see if they can produce them! I very much doubt it though!!
