E53 X5 required for magazine photoshoot!

[Scrof]

Hi folks,

Firstly, apologies if this is in the wrong forum or a breach of forum etiquette - I've tried to put this post in the right place and make sure it's in-keeping with forum rules, but if it isn't, please feel free to move/change it or let me know!

My name's Alex, I'm the Used Car Editor for Autocar magazine, and I'm trying to find an E53 X5 to take part in a multi-car used car feature in the magazine. We'd need you and your car for a day on Friday 18 November, for photography at our photo studio in Feltham. I appreciate that's a little short notice, but if you can make it, you'd be helping me out vastly! You get the benefit of having your car immortalised in an issue of Britain's oldest existing car magazine, plus we'll brim your fuel tank for you and provide lunch on the day.

We're ideally looking for a standard (or very close to it) car in good condition, to represent the X5 in a used car round-up of great cars to buy to beat the worst of the winter weather for less than £5,000. I'd like to pitch the X5 as a family-sized SUV that provides masses more driver appeal than most. Any spec, any engine is fine, as long as the car is standard or close to it, and in decent condition.

If you've such a car, you're available on that day and you're up for coming down to help us out, please drop me a line at alex.robbins [at] haymarket.com.

Once again, apologies if this post breaches any forum rules, but as you can tell from the date involved, I'm rather pressed for time!

Thanks in advance for your help!

As usual whats on offer for the use of someones vehicle and their time is pretty poor,having your standard x5 in a magazine isnt going to give the owner any kudos at all,so come on make it really worth someones time
