Brown as fuck: 2001 BMW X5 3.0 - Exxon5!

[Kiltox]

Aldgate station is the starting point for tonight’s idiocy.

[mrbenn]

This should be good.

[Kiltox]

Baker Street achieved - we won’t be needing Sherlock to work out what I’ve bought unless he has a fault code reader

[mrbenn]

I like how the interior matches the forum.

[Kiltox]

Final train entered

 

[spartacus]

Get in! I'm actually excited about this.

Good luck, although I don't think you'll need it, my money is on you getting home with no Christmas lights on the dash.

[320touring]

Chodspeed good sir.

 

I am happy to be travelling northwards on a train to get out of earshot when the inevitable happens and the fucks are unleashed.

 

Coming up to Warrington now, should be safe by Preston

[Wack]

Nobody is safe in Preston

[cort16]

Can you hold on for half an hour we're just doing some last minute checks?

 

 

Good luck, I'm sure it'll be fine.

Thank you for your kind donation.

[BavarianRetro]

Good luck.

PEZ

 

 

How fucking much pez????

 

[cort16]

At least the 3.0 won't be that bad on fuel, by which I mean double figures.

[NorfolkNWeigh]

You've already saved a fiver by not having a diesel.

[chaseracer]

BRAVE PILLS ADMINISTERED.

[Lord Sterling]

Wanna swap for an e46 316?

 

Thought not....

 

Mind you, owning one of these now would bankrupt me.

[Kiltox]

Oxford Services achieved. 30 miles or so.

 

Interesting one - when I press the snowflake button on the dash, cold air comes out of the vents. No idea what’s up with that.

[Asimo]

 

Why is this ancient Bee Emm in the moderns thread - is it to chop for an I8 in some px scrappage deal?

[Kiltox]

Just didn’t think it was main board material, people are funny about that kind of thing.

[Pillock]

With a colour scheme like that, post it where the chuff you like - the forum is yours!

[Lacquer Peel]

Working air conditioning, that's a good sign already. Low cost low liability?

[hennabm]

Welcome to the 3.0l club.

 

I am managing around 16.4mpg at the moment according to the on board computer.

 

 

When I filled mine it was only from a quarter tank but still took £95.

 

It was fitted with LPG but I had to take out the tank to change the battery and repair the amp. I haven't got round to fitting it again.

 

Watching this thread with interest. 

[Supernaut]

HOW MUCH per litre?

 

Come up to Aberdeen, it's more like £1.23 a litre here. However, that would mean being in Aberdeen...

[angle]

According to the spec sheet, Mahogany Brown with Mahogany natural leather. Well played.

[rantingYoof]

*feels weirdly happy but then remembers that this is all happening because he posted it in the first intance*

 

[rantingYoof]

Please tell me they retuned the 3litre fit the x5.

 

The engine from my 330 would have been no use in something as big and heavy as that.

 

When I found it on Autotrader I saw it had around 236hp or something around that...sounds like it's the stock 3.0 straight six from the 330ci.

[Kringle]

How much for an irn bru!?

[Kiltox]

FIN

 

[Kiltox]

Nearly got a shot of some serious 2001 car park shite with the Primera too but my phone was dead and I had to move it to the street

[Wack]

I thought you were collecting it from London, you appear to have bought your Irn Bru from a woman in Newcastle
