E53 X5 became Ex 5

Post by kkodal78 » Thu Feb 14, 2013 7:10 pm

Well today we finalised the deal and the X5 is officially gone. It feels like the drive way is empty without it. We'll see how long i will hang on before purchasing another X5. I just wanted to thank everyone in the forum for all the help and suggestions. I will keep wondering the forum for future tips.
I suggested for new owner to sign up to the forum so he should be saying hi soon.

There is no way that can be classified as an 'upgrade'...... :blink:

I guess it's both good and bad news in selling your X5, verydifficult after spending so much time modding it.

don't forget to keep posting especially when you have the F15
