After months and months of researching V10 Touaregs, Audi RS6's and S4's getting ready for child number 2 to fit in our family car, i saw a local advert for an X5 for sale, popped in to see it and bought it that day. Hurrah!
Now doing my research retrospectively
it didn't have very many of the [Sticky] 'Options list', it has very OTT 22'' wheels and the ride is a bit bumpy at low speeds - but I LOVE IT!!! It's quick and nimble for its size, got a great riding position, easy to drive and feels very special.
Since buying, i have had it checked over by a very nice man on a mission from warranty direct in order to get it covered. He used to be one of the AA inspectors, lived locally and gave it an extra 1/2 hour check over for me and luckily gave it a super clear bill of heath, phew!
So, no doubt i will be asking questions soon enough...after i have read all i can from the previous discussions.
One initial observation was that the sound quality from the stereo seems a bit flat. i have tried to have a quick read of the forum to find what my options are, but perhaps someone could quickly answer if a simple change of speakers could help? I don't need Amazing sound quality or volume (i can't afford it!), but i would like more clarity in the sound. Thanks.
So, here's my brand new, 2004 4.4 X5, in Silver with some big bumpy silver wheels for my wifes morning nursery run
Took a quick photo on my phone.
