to the forum, I have the same model x5, and so far (4 years) it’s been one of the best cars I have owned, ticks most of the boxes for me, load lugger, caravan tower, great performance and handling and fairly economical.

I agree. Hydrogen is the fuel of the future. At least BMW are Cobalt free systems. Couldn’t agree more, it’ll no doubt be a bit like early video recorders Beta and then VHS, pity the politicians can’t see that at the moment, going headlong into electric. Especially as when it’s windy and sunny the ...
