Car drives exceptionally well and is the best e53 x5 I've owned (I've had a few!). I've used the car mainly for long trips hiking up various mountains in the uk and trips to London. The car gets up to temperature and gauge sits bang in the middle.
The interior is mostly unmarked and is in really good condition for its age.
The bodywork is again very good for its age with a few marks and scratches relative to the age of the car. Engine is smooth and on a recent trip to Ben Nevis I managed to get 39mpg!
There are a few buttons missing from the climate control unit and the wing mirrors do not fold in electronically. The drivers side wing mirror has cracked casing as some doughnut hit the wing mirror.
This is not your usual tired and tatty x5 and I took a long time to find one in this condition.
I have added a video of the car which the previous owner sent to me.
Please do not call me making offers for the car without seeing it. No group viewings and test drives will require proof of insurance.
