My 3.0d MSport

Post by BigGX5 » Mon Jan 19, 2015 5:23 pm

My 3.0d MSport in Carbon Black.
Hope you like.
Don't worry, not a Gypo, I have a holiday home on the East Coast of Scotland that we go to most weekends.

Good looking car, love those wheels. I think they are the best wheels on an X5.

They are very close but yours is more blue!!

I used to park at clients between a saphire and Monaco and it was difficult to tell in certain lights.

Thanks chaps, loving it so far although looks like it might cost me in the very near future. Think there might be an issue with rear air suspension, when I get in and start it on a cold morning I can hear it creaking as if pumping up, also it seems to lose rear hight when left for a while.

They gave me a 3 month RAC warranty with it, seems like they pay the first £500 of any bill. Hope it's not much more to fix or I will have to lay a few more driveways!!!!!  :P

Shadrack. The two spaces to the left are owned by a car trader who has a wooden lodge on the site and only ever arrives on. Sat night late and leaves early doors Sunday. Hence I park tight on his side or even slightly on his land as here, leaving more space for the puddle jumpers parking on the other side. Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it. [emoji3]
