I had a look inside one recently, interior looked crap, not enough buttons to press for a car like that.

Loads of them for sale because they are 55plate or newer and the owners are getting RAPED by the DVLA every year.

sadly its the in thing to have no buttons  i love pressing buttons 
on the X5 im not really keen on then tbh, meant to be a very good car with more car like handling than most sfotroaders. Id prefer an Mclass tho!

If you wouldnt choose an X5 which one of its rivals would you have instead?

they are all as stuoidly expensive to run as each other. The government want big SUV's off the road so they tax the fuck out of them. maintenance costs are really deer too.
Unless you have money to burn you would be better off with a 5 series or c class merc but even then the big engined ones of those cost the best part of £500 a year to tax

Awesome cars. Real road presence and arnt as rolly rolly as you would expect.
The cheap cheap ones are the 3.0 petrol and manual (even though majority are auto).
Im sure someone told m the 4.4 is just as eco as the 3.0

aye the 4.4 v8 does 2 MPG less than the 3.0L, I think they are pretty good been in a few, not that bad on fuel 22mpg odd for a car that is over 2 tons with 300bhp, not bad i say.

I love them. Quick for what they are too. Just plant foot to floor and let the auto do the work and just fly off, not bad for traffic light grand prix really Lose a bit of their puff after 80mph tho really.
