Finally took some photos

Post by P6NDP » Thu Jul 28, 2016 2:02 pm

Hi Guys,
I finally got round to taking some photos of my new-ish car. I've had it a few months now and absolutely love it. It took a while to find one with the right spec and colour combination at the right price.

Here's the spec run-down:

June 2014, BMW X5 Drive25d M Sport
Carbon Black with Ivory leather interior
20 m double spoke wheels
Reversing assist camera
American oak interior trim
Panoramic glass roof
Rear window tints
Electric front and heated seats


I've also just got a new front grille (the full silver version) which I'm fitting soon which should finish it off nicely.

Lovely - how do you find the 2 litre lump? Is it okay for this size car or a bit sluggish? Does it give good fuel economy.

I find it really good on fuel; regularly getting over 40mpg. Its not a rocket ship acceleration wise, but its punchy enough for the type of driving I do. Overall really impressed as I was originally looking for a 3ltr model.

Thanks for all the nice comments :)

Has anyone got any up-to-date info on how the F15 X5's like this are holding their value on the used market?

Hi
Nice spec on the car, and I like the dark tints against the carbon black.

Also really impressed with the MPG you are getting at the moment with it as seem a lot better than the E70 shape
