In the market for a X5, what to look for?

It is a sports steering wheel, nice and meaty but the poor quality trim lets it down.

Was the insert peeling? It's common with the e90. Like the e46 insert it's common for the paint to rub off. Both have there ups and downs. I had mine wrapped on the e90 and e46.

Yeah its peeling off and is white underneath, button layout slightly different too, wife prefers E46 wheel anyway.

I have a euro spec X5 4.4I with sports pack air suspension etc..redone front and rear suspension bushes parts are not so expensive.... Replaced radiator and water pump PCV etc.. Did not cost too much

If you put a little effort into it you can get everything at a good price
Power is great handling is great quite thirsty if you put foot but generally an awesome car it accelerates like a sports car with all the right noises!

Like with any car requires maintenance personally I love the beast!raise:raise:
