Description
Selling my much loved 2008 BMW X5 sd (35d) Auto 5 seater.
Bulletproof M57 engine. My second X5 with the same engine as I avoid the N-series because of their known reliability issues.
175k-ish miles. Car drives great, loads of power and comfort. 286bhp so it's quick for its size.
Have recent receipts for work I've done and some from just before my ownership, and 1 key.
2008 model puts it in the lower tax bracket.
Selling as I've bought something smaller.
Over the last year of my ownership I've carried out most of the mods you can see, this includes:
22" Hawke Alloys powder coated last year
Front and rear spacers
New wheel bolts to match
Rear slightly lowered electronically to give a better stance
New Front pads, discs and calipers
New Front disc splash plates
Brake fluid flush
New Battery
New rear suspension airbags
New suspension pump
Front lip/spoiler
Yellow angel eyes
Blacked out trim, indicators, grill, badges, bolts
Android head unit with reverse camera
Carbon wrapped trim
Steering wheel trim
New mats
New rubber boot mat
Replaced plastic water shielding in engine bay (common fault causes injector issues if not sorted)
New windscreen fitted recently in March
Facelift rear lights fitted before my ownership.
Have some wide exhaust tips I never got round to fitting, new owner can take them.
Car has some mods to improve performance, economy and reliability:
EGR, EGR Cooler, CAT and DPF sorted
Most vacuum lines replaced
Car has been a pleasure to own, fast, comfortable and gets a lot of attention.
Took it on the North Coast 500 trip last year and it performed great.
Bad bits:
Rear bumper has a bit of damage in the centre (see pics) and front bumper has a scuff offside but I have the primer, paint and lacquer which I'll give with the car.
There is a whine sometimes from around 30-40mph, diagnosed as nearside front driveshaft
Common fault: Handbrake doesn't work (never bothered me as it doesn't move in Park), Auto-hold works fine
It's a 17 year old car so you should expect some imperfections.
I am a Private Seller.
Send me a message if interested.
Payment by Bank Transfer only.
Car is in Smethwick area of Birmingham.
Timewasters will be ignored, not in any rush to sell.
Sorry no px as I have another car already.
Mileage may increase as I still enjoy driving it around.
