Hi everyone.
I am new to the forum and thus far it has been great being here.
I recently sold my 2010 X5 xDrive 30d Exclusive which i had bought and specced brand new.
It had just 23000km, and other than a rattle from the back seat which was fixed by Auto Alpina Boksburg when new, the car performed faultlessly.
As you see in my signature we have other vehicles which we use daily, so the X5 does duty as an intercity express on 2-3 Sundays each month.
I sold the 2010 car as I really thought it was overkill having such a unit. Figure I would rather get a 2005 or so 6 series at 300k and pocket the other 300k.
Anyhow come the first weekend, and you miss it like hell.
So I bought a used X5, also black sapphire, this one a 2009 35d with saddle brown interior. It had 58000km and still is in very good condition. I suppose with a GOOD detailing it would be immaculate.
The spec is awesome:
Black Sapphire / Saddle Brown / Anthracite roof lining.
M Sports package
Innovations Package
Panoramic Roof
Bi-xenon adaptive headlights
3rd row seating with self levelling rear axle
20" V spoke alloys.
It truly is a killer. All that was wrong is being sorted out under plan - new battery and a rattle from boot area.
The info I need - Do these give any particular problems?
Am wondering whether to keep it as I did get it at a small town BMW dealer at a wholesale price. Do I make a few bucks and go back to the newish low kilo base plain jane diesels that I am used to, or do I keep it? I really am used to driving the much newer vehicle (basically specced and very low kilos), but this one new costs a full BAR and has twin turbos!!
Also, the Nav DVD takes about 4 minutes to load - Is this normal?
All input appreciated.
Greetings
