Just Taken Delivery
Hi all,
Been registered here for a while now, but have been waiting to collect my car before posting & saying hello. So just this morning I've taken delivery of my new X5 2.5D X Drive M-sport in Carbon Black with Alcantara interior & I'm dead chuffed I must say While "Mrs Kered" has had a couple of X3's, this is my first BMW & also my first move away from Land Rover in 14 years. So far I've only driven back from the dealer to my office, but am looking forward to getting to know it better over the weekend. I'm also looking forward to getting stuck in here on the forum over the coming months, in the meantime must get back to work, although I can't say my mind is too focused on work at the moment. Here's a phone cam pic of my car at the dealers this morning, just as the cover was pulled off. |

You had me at Carbon Black. Will be annoying to keep clean with the dreadful Irish weather, but when she shines, she shines like no other!

Thanks for the welcome guys
You have a point about the Irish weather P1et, it's very hard to keep cars clean over here. It will be a challenge to keep clean & looking well no doubt. It wasn't so bad with my Land Rovers, as they kinda looked good dirty, but an X5, I suspect not so much. In any case but I've had black cars before & "Mrs Kered's" previous X3 to her current one was black, so I know what's ahead of me. All part of the fun |
