Description
Rare V8 BMW X5 48i, private reg removed, now ST58 FMA, very reliable engine, the last of the normally aspirated, so no turbo worries. This car literally had the top spec in its day, & is still higher specced than most modern cars.
Spec includes:
- M Sport trim
- Adaptive M Suspension (stays flat in the corners)
- Michelin PS4S tyres - top of the range with decent tread
- Heated Steering Wheel (upgraded)
- Comfort Seats (multi way adjustment)
- Panoramic Sliding Sunroof with electric blind (pan roof)
- Soft black Nappa leather interior (not the hard Dakota leather like most)
- Comfort Access (soft closing doors - don't have to slam any doors)
- Tow bar (detachable, added by me, used for bike rack)
- Head up display (shows your speed on the windscreen)
- Heated front seats (you can set which part of the seat gets warmest)
- Heated rear seats
- Cruise control
- Air conditioning (re-gassed, new condenser).
- Air conditioned centre console (keep a can of pop cold)
- Reversing camera & parking sensors
- Split boot with electric boot open & close from key or button
- Bluetooth phone connection
- DVD player in front
- Rear central DVD player with remote (can use headphones)
- DAB radio
- Lights - upgraded to white Zenon style bulbs (not yellow)
- Carbon Trim - wrapped in carbon effect by previous owner, generally great except near gear stick has small marks. Looks much smarter than all others of this age.
The car is running perfectly, genuine reason for sale, you won't be disappointed in this car.
New MOT passed - valid till May 2027 - ready to go.
Full service history stamped up in the book.
Large wad of receipts dating back 10 years.
Maintenance in last 3.5 years in my care, no expense spared putting it into amazing condition, very much needed when they reach about 80k, as follows:
- Suspension - front lower control arms
- New rear washer pump
- Oil cooler pipes
- Water pump
- Thermostat
- Auxiliary Belt
- Heater control valve
- Battery
- Condenser for air conditioning
Plus other essential. Last service was a major one at 93k, not due a service for a while.
This car is fantastic to drive, powerful, great handling, big enough for the family, luxurious inside, more reliable than the notorious 50i, & no turbos like M50i or M50D, SVR
If you love a V8 sound, these cars are getting very rare to find in top working order.
The body work is good, it has marks here & there in line with age.
Genuine car looking for a genuine buyer.
Technology plus, comfort plus
