Count down begins!

Post by mark09 » Sat Jun 18, 2011 7:02 am

Wow, I couldn't stop smiling when the sales guy pointed out the car in the show room :0) what a fantastic car. Kids love the rear DVD players with games and I will have hours of fun playing with all the gadgets. Only issue was the car didn't have the iPhone snap in adaptor but sales guy informed me there is a new batch due to be released and will post out to me!
I love the White with black alloy combo plus the black kidney grills - it looks amazing.
Will up load more pics later, just it was raining when I collected.

Have to say a big thank u to Sytner Chigwell and the staff who have been fantastic.

Funny enough just as I was pulling in to garage I got 'the' call to confirm it's happening and have my father in law lined up for some X5 driving lessons ha ha

No, but I know how you feel! Some idiot reversed into my X6 when it was very new and I was absolutely gutted :cry:

Don't know how bad the damage is, but if it needs a replacement have a look at Alloywheels Direct as they do OEM rims a lot cheaper than BMW will.

Nothing worse than hurt pride :( The tyre looks damaged too, or is it just a mark in the rubber?

Really hope you enjoy your new motor, real gutter catching the rim and tyre like that :-(

Just my opinion, but the black wheels just aren't doing it for me in the photos, probably look completely different in the metal though. Do you have any pics of the inside?

I am of course only jealous as I would love an E70.
