Hello all

i have just bought my first X5, had BMW many years ago when younger,  a 325i from 1990   and a 528i from 1984 both flying machines of the day with manual gearboxes,    many years gone past now, anyway just px the v6 people carrier from Ford for a bit of luxury, i deserve it at 55, i just cashed a little pension pot i had,  gave some to kids. some to wife,  was gonna buy a big motorbike but wife says  NO.

so i got this instead.  Lovely. 

Have posted my 1st question as well.   trying to find out the full spec of the car from realoem  but got stuck already !

Sadly we live in area where many bikers come for a fun ride on Sundays in summer on the long roads and nearly every week there's a crash or two normally with car drivers who never see them, so that scares the good lady,  got to keep em happy i suppose.
