If only it was a 2.2 :mad:

In fairness, the 2L 520 is still a 6 pot and puts out 150bhp, the 2.2 only puts out 13 more... Tax is 710 v 951, so a pretty substantial difference for a very small difference in bhp... Change the front lights to the clear facelift ones and its a gorgeous car...

That's my thinking too, it is down 20 though and not 13, it's 170 v 150. It has manual going for it though which is a big plus. Would be looking to get that for 1500 or less though I'd say. Tax is a big plus.

given your initial criteria, that cars seems like a needle in a haystack and the fact you are getting a 6 pot petrol bm with reasonable tax is great!

Yeah I think I'll give him a ring about it alright, only thing that's turning me off a bit is he's a brand new dealer in Dublin with only that car listed.

But it's burgundy and pre facelift

You're pre-facelift :pac:

I think the colour is pretty nice, retrofit some Hella Angel Eyes and it'd be grand. Not a lot out there at the moment.

If that was straight it's a nice car. Might not be the best engine out there but some simple mods would have that nicely sorted. Have a look at what Marlow did to a 525d se.

I was looking at his thread on BMW-Driver alright but the pictures don't work anymore unfortunately.

I need to live in Dublin for a few days to go and looks at all of the cars around :pac:

Looks like there's a 525i M-Sport for sale down here that isn't advertised yet, giving him a ring tonight about it.

530i , 2600 asking but spec is massive.

Didnt see the estate part, very few of them around, but would this do the job ?

The 530i would've been too much for me right now, I wouldn't go near an older X5 myself. Estate was only a preference.

Think I got sorted today anyway with a 525i Auto M-Sport. Should be picking it up in 2/3 weeks when it's ready
