hey everyone, thought i'd throw up some pics of the x5!

X5 4.8is AC Schnitzer.  Do any meets happen UK wide at any point?

[X5Sport]

Hi and welcome, Fantastic looking 4.8 you have their, love the wheels.
There has just been a meet recently ( London area ) you will have to keep an eye out for news of another.
Bit of a hike from North Yorkshire though.

[ac]

haha thanks ah the schnitzer bits were factory specified...I'm a bit anal about keeping it factory standard!

Horizon, I come down quite a bit (down now in fact) so that's not too much of an issue!

Wow love the car is it lowered ??? Oh and welcome

[ac]

Thanks Wilko nah its totally standard, but has the all-round air suspension so is adjustable...might have been in 'access mode' so raises up when it starts

[shadrack]

[ac]

Harrogate here! how about yourself?

[shadrack]

yeh there is quite a few about, also a few rip off merchants such as myself with derveburners clad in 4.8is goodies

[ac]

haha excellent 

did consider getting it changed to LPG but holding off for now!  before the X5 I had an 840ci so not naive about the fuel consumption! although...driving on the motorway its fine...but round town....

[shadrack]

tbh, im trying to get a job at the miute which will bring my weekly comute miles from 300 to 15 so if that happens i will need a v8!  you must be used to the noise, and i had a petrol/lpg before this one it was good but a little flat been the 3.0i

[ac]

Jobs are a pain just now!  Good luck in getting something you want

The noise is very muted actually, it has an AC Schnitzer exhaust which was factory spec...so is a little grunty when it is first started (blips with a grunt) and under full throttle sounds like a scolded elephant! haha

ac.  I get the feeling you're going to fit in here really quickly.
