Re: Newbie saying hello - E70 3.0d

Thanks all for the welcome.

Looks like I'm going to have to change the pipes. Too dark out there now to check now but it looks like there are inserts in the bumper.

Newbie saying hello - E70 3.0d

Hi all

Just spent the last few months looking over the Forum to check out tips on buying a used X5. Well after all the research I now have a 2008 E70 3.0d and chuffed to bits with it. Eventually I found a well spec'd (dynamic, multi-media, 20 inchers, beige leather, rev camera & sun roof) model ...
