[quote=""AW8""]Have considered RX300 SE-L in past myself before, ( prior to buying the X5 as well as during ownership)...Mark Levison HI-Fi & reverse cam as standard on SE-L so nice spec out of the box.

I'm in no rush. I can wait to secure a spanking deal! lol

When are you looking to sell? Are you going to get another one?

Hi,

Getting closer to buying an X5. Probably wouldn't be new due to value for money.
Looking for:

3rd-row seating
Sun roof
Satnav and media pak

I'm not sure I can do anything about the punitive 50% tax rate since everything is PAYE. If there is a way to deal with that, I'm all ears! :D

I ...

Hi,

I look around and see soo many X5s. They are not cheap. Considering the average salary in London in less than 30K, how can people afford to drive one? Am I jealous? Yes. :evil:

I'm a bit perplexed; my self, I'm in the highest rate 50% tax bracket, but I am finding it difficult to justify a ...
