Re: x5 M40d MSport 2011+ - On the Lookout

Hi and welcome to the forum. It's probably worth having a read of the buyers guide in the e70 section as it will help you decide what spec you should go for, as retro fitting is costly and complicated due to the abundance of electronic modules.

Re: Just viewed another E70 with decent spec.

Hi Adam Seems like you have a bit of a dilemma between the 2011 r4.0d and the better spec'd 2007 3.0d. Depending on your budget I would say the 4.0d is better, it's newer, more power whether you use it or not, 8 speed, lower road tax, less wear and tear, and better residuals when selling it in 5 yea...

Re: Put deposit on E70 4.0d

Hi I think it looks like the edge is flatter at the 5 o'clock position, could be because of a pothole. Ps The car looks good from the pics. So it would be sensible for the sake of your safety getting them to have it checked at a local tyre company to make sure it's okay and not damaged or cracked an...

Re: X5M replica For Sale - One of a kind!

Hi

Stunning looking and shame to sell it after that much work and money has been put into it by you.

It may be worth an ad on piston-heads

Re: 640i Cabriole

Hi

Definitely looks nice and tidy and probably a mid life crisis car but hey you have to do it otherwise you can easily regret the missed opportunity.

You just need to wait for the summer and hot weather

Re: Viewing tomorrow

Hi I checked the road tax and dvla say 214 gym whichshould mean it's the lower diesel band compared to the earlier cars.
