General Comments
I have just completed my first year with my BMW X5 3.0 Sport and it has been fantastically enjoyable. Even had it off road which it coped with well. Living in the country it provides better versatility and value than the 530i touring. Love it to bits, probably buy a 4.4 auto next time.
Only reliability niggle was a small problem with electrics to steering wheel.
