Nice one. I have a 54 reg 3.0D with every option going. Only thing that concerns me is the new one comes out next year with 7 seats and you may take a hammering on depreciation. Saying that you will anyway, as mine has dropped 17k from new ![Frown](https://www.scoobynet.com/images/smilies/frown.gif)
If that is not a problem enjoy it...top car. If you drive around town like me don't expect much over 22 mpg

I have a 4.4is and have been through this whole X5 v 5 Series debate before, to cut a long story short the only valid reason to buy an X5 is that I live in Scotland and like to see over hedges, any other answer just starts and argument

I still cant figure out what an X5 is good at.... but each
to their own, and you obviously like it!
But £8.5k / year!!!! why oh why....

One of many possibilities next year.
Enjoy your new car.
Remember to give a friendly wave to any environmentalists you see. And Audilover who'll be along shortly to chastise you.

Went for the X5 cos the 5 series looks SO boring.
Yup im a big ******, so the car looks like a normal sized family car when im stood next to it, i can streach out, dont rub my head and dont have my knee on the driver window.
environmentalists? My scooby is green..... (in colour, DGM to be exact) lol - still dont know if im gonna keep it tho. (insurance is actually £100 cheaper on a £42,000 X5 compared to my £4,000 R'reg scoob)

At least it shows thieves have good taste as well unless they take the X5 purely for its highly regarded towing ability if they plan on nicking a twin axle the same evening

lol dosent matter how much spare cash i have, i hate paying insurance!
ive only had 2 cars upto now.
1st Pug 306 1.4petrol cost me £1300ish per year to insure
2nd Scooby Turbo cost me £1700ish per year (i was 21) and has fallen to about £900
3rd NEW BMW X5 costing me £800 per year
what a waste of money!
but ive had various company cars (golfs/astras/etc) when i was repping.
