Now, the RS5 is a beauty (in grey, not sure about the white). My heart is saying 'buy the 535' but SWMBO says'buy the X5'. I must though agree that the 535 is tighter in the back, but the 535, what a car........ When I test drove a E53 before, the drive was really nice and smooth. I do have my conce...

Today I took out for a test drive a E70 X5 3.0d SE on a 57 plate with 43K on the clock and a 5 Series 535 MSport with 32K. I really like both cars and needed to see which would suit our needs better. I took the 535 out first and loved it. Very smooth, great power, really quiet and very composed. I w...

Just to update, When I called the dealer back on Thursday to express my dissatisfaction with the situation, I was told that the car might still be available as it had not been ‘sold’ but re-allocated within group stock. 2 hours later I got the call to say that the car was definitely unavailable ...

The 6 is definately a grower. There are some really great details and lines on them.

Like a certain advert with an 'M' in it - I'm lovin' it

I just wish my budget would grow so I could afford one one day

As my son would say - sweet ride

Seriously???

I have an E46 also but a '99 version. I replaced the standard 16"s with 18" MV2's With 225/45/18's and they too make all the difference to the look and handling of the car. In addition I had the door handles colour matched, fitted CFL angel eyes and clear chrome front indicators. When the ...

OMG

Looks like someone reversed into an oil refinery and left with a few adornments, not my cup of tea..

[quote=""Chompers""] It still amazes me that dealers and sales people do not bother to promptly return phones calls. Selling over the phone is an art and one I personally very much enjoyed. If they can't be bothered to return a call, then they do not deserve your business. [/quot...

Thank you Sanj

I did think the same about that car and it has given me the opportunity to test drive another one this weekend.
Is there anything in particular I should look out for? Any foibles to be aware of?

It is always best to make an informed descision

Sounds like a real fun exercise in chase the V5. I will endeavor to do as suggested above though. Thank you. I did phone the dealers today, they were busy as usual. When I called back as they failed to call me, I found that between yesterdays discussions and my getting to speak to the sales team, th...

I think a call to the dealers first thing might well be in order.

Thank you for the replies guys

Hi there all I am looking at buying a 2007 3.0dSE E70 and was wondering how much the road tax would be on it. I ask as I was under the impression that when BMW brought out the E70 with it's cleaner diesel engines, the tax was £245 per year. I have used the DVLA enquiry form and it is showing the ta...

I agree with BWG and Raj, I quite like the new version.
Not only that, have any of you heard one giving it some? I see one quite regularly and it does have a certain auiable charm about it.....

Hi there and thank you for the warm welcome. I will hopefully be looking at a 3.0d M-sport E70 but that all depends on the exact budget at the time I'm looking. Trouble I have is SWMBO has quite a specific spec in mind, you know what they are like, even though it will be my car.... I havn't had a ch...

Hi there all. I have been looking around for a suitable X based forum and have found a suitable UK based site at last. I thought I would take this opportunity to introduce myself and let you know a little about me. I'm not yet an X owner, but hope to be in the very near future; definately before the...
