XSeries-forum

Hi everyone , I have used this fourm before and got a great response from you all people regarding advice on the X5 . (thanks)

Am going to sell BMW X5 E53 3.0 diesel, it comes in its Orignal colour in 'White' which is quite rare I've been told.
I got this for my wife but she finds it too big to drive lol, the car isn't used much so it's taking space as I have got her a smaller car so we need to sell this now. 

This X5 was an ex police car, its faultless whereas it's been having a regular service by the police when it was under there ownership. The vehicle was sold via Aution and I had purchased  in the year 2014 from a trader.

This vehicle has 2 owners and mileage is 157,256, mainly the miles we're done by police, I have a 'service report' sheet which states the service's from 2011-2014  and M.O.T records with 'Job Number.

I did ask for service history but police are not allowed to give it? intstead gave me  the service report sheet.  The mileage is correct and the services which were carried out are also correct.  I did a full service going back in  Nov 2016 and We don't often drive this now as I have my own company car.

Before my purchase I made sure this vehicle is good enough for us and not usual rubbish, I got the car checked by a mechanic who used the snap-on diagnostics and the car was faultless ! No erros etc.  The car drives fantastic, very smooth, no nocks, no smoke, no over heating what's so ever! This X5 is quite quick whereas being ex police car still has the superchip?  Anyone who is genuinely interested in this vehicle please pm me and I will try my level best to answer any questions regarding this X5. 

I have tried to be honest, am now wanting your honest opinion on how much it's worth please no silly offers like 3/4 k this car has cost me over 7,500 am not wanting that but something reasonable?  Please take a look at pictures I will loading some more pictures over weekend.

I am based in West Yorkshire, near Leeds.

Thanks for looking

Anyone Recommending a price guide ??

Hi

I think as the car has high mileage you need to sell it on condition and history of work carried out, and the features it has and later facelift cars do sell.

Having a look at pistonheads for X5's with similar mileage they are circa 6k from a garage which offers warranties and finance so in order to sell it I guess you would have to probably price it lower. Also auto trader is worth checking as well

Nice car.

I'd say 5k-ish, if selling privately, and as stated because of the mileage, but ...... you'd need to give much much more info on spec/extras, i.e. auto or manual, heated seats, electric memory seats, tyre tread death, wheel condition, etc., etc., etc.,

Not sure what a super chip is but I can guess and that could be regarded as as significant modification that may cause issues to some insurers. You don't need to answer this but did you tell your insurers and if so what was their response?

Hi thank you for the replys everyone yes insurance are aware,  I think I will put this on eBay first and see any response unless anyone is interested on here. Once again thanks for the help
