he he he! definately in the scrappers now steve!

all were ok - it was only me any way. no bloody airbags tho'

How did it happen? too much momentum on an icy bend, front wheel drive and too many 'driver aids'.

By the way, anyone see tiff on 5th gear last night? I was pulling the same faces!!!

Looks like a bit of a mess.  Hope all occupants were ok after that?

Happy to pop out for a blast, or whatever with you guys at some point to show you we're not all to$$ers with X's, just so's happens its actually not a bad car, in spite of who may be perceived as the general type of owner.

BTW, I asked for an X forum since I had an X3 and was 'enthusiastic', just to see if all our prejudices were wrong and perhaps there'd be a few like minded drivers who need a car that tows a horse box one day, then spanks an MR2/205GTI 1.9 etc on the twisties the next.

Oh, I've been to Rockingham too and it isn't too bad in the mud either.

BTW, I also have a supercharged Z3 which isn't too slow for a 'hairdressers car', a 320td compact, which isn't bad for a 'taxi', a GSXR750 which laps Cadwell club circuit in 53 seconds which ins't bad for a 'taxi driving hairdresser'...... and an X3, shame on me and put my income tax up to 50% right now please Mr Brown!!

Welcome to our planet?  Live and let live eh?

The link shows (me) the car in Mystic blue with 17" 5 spokes with factory bodykit. 

Works for me, but there again, so does the new 7,5 & E90 3 series.  Even the Z4 is growing on me.

Bought this car 'cos it's quicker, more space inside, less space outside, lighter, more economical (LOL) and has features the X5 doesn't, at less cost.  I quite like the looks too and it will be available for viewing at the Vale of York & Humber meeting too where you can gaze in awe at it's ugliness etc..

See You on the 29th?

It's probably the new Bangle facelift release, in an attempt to overcome the astounding ugliness of the original. Have to say the X5 is a nicely styled machine, still wouldn't have one. At least it hasn't been subjected to the full 'Bangleification' yet, unlike the rest of the range.

Is it just me or is there a spot of fishing going on in here?

Well, I like the X5's, having just driven one off road (properly, on an off-road course ).

Great feeling when you hear the front end crunch after a steep slope, sliding down in the mud - knowing its not yours..

Lovely handling and very comfortable, would have one tommorrow (if I had the 40K to own one)

Pity the only inclines they will probably encounter are kerb stones on the way to pick/drop off the kids...
