New x5 owner

Post by Holsy10 » Sun Dec 25, 2016 3:34 pm

Hi wanted to say hello after I purchased my first BMW Thursday it's an e53 x5 4.6is  in estoril blue.

So far I've noticed a few little quirks but coming from a Jaguar XF I have to accept there totally different beasts.

Again Hello to all

No you have it wrong, blue ones are faster when behind you, Red ones are faster in front.... :P

Blue has to be the quickest as most slow down to see what it is and only because I couldn't find a red one to buy [emoji85]
