Bmw x5 e53 4.8is…3rd listing due to idiots pressing the buy it now button then to message ‘if it’s ok I will have it’ .. Carnt stress this enough you bid to buy it it’s yours regardless of your excuses…PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION…. I bought this car from previous owner who had it about 8yrs…I looked after it/ serviced it and any repairs needed in that time..he upgraded to a newer model and a diesel… Since I’ve bought it I’ve replaced the front o/s complete airbag/ strut, o/s engine rocker cover because it had an oil leak,o/s rear tyre,changed engine oil,oil+ air filters…and the mot…a few advisories 1- n/s front drop link boot perished- this has been replaced. 2- nail in n/s rear tyre- been removed but wasn’t actually through the tyre. 3-n/s front tyre slightly perished..- it’s fine 4-some brake pipes covered in grease- standard ( prefer grease to rust) 5-under trays fitted..- factory fitted under trays lol While the car starts and drives prefect IT HAS AN INTERMITTENT FAULT possibly the gear box…PLEASE READ- Most of the time it drives as it should..quiet,smooth and fast BUT the odd time when you pull away it has a slight judder or vibration but it goes off…all gears select,still drives and then it seems to clear it’s self and is fine..I’ve absolutely no idea other then it’s nothing to do with the engine..it’s drive chain related…. Had it up the road for about 6miles yesterday and didn’t do it..weird..but it is what it is… Also it’s dual fuel..petrol/ lpg..the lpg side has been faulty ever since I’ve known the car…sometimes it would work other times not..it’s not atm and I think tank is empty…I can only imagine this is a sensor?? It’s fairly clean inside,pervious owner had a dog which he would put in the boot ,I got most of the dog hair out and fitted a new boot liner.. Maybe would look better with a valet,depends on how fussy you are Body work fine BUT remember is 20yrs old Has upgraded wheels fitted which look the part Everything ( I think ) works as it should cruise control, tv etc..though the tv does have a line through it if you can see it through the picture… SO IAM LISTING THIS AS SPARES OR REPAIRS due to 1- INTERMITTENT gearbox/ transfer box/ drive chain fault 2- lpg doesn’t always kick in Trying to be as honest as possible regarding the car . This is still probably the cheapest driving/ mot’d 4.8is you will find You bid to buy not to view.. You want to come up from Cornwall and drive it back then fine,it’s up to you..BUT ABSOLUTELY no warranty implied or given. This is going to be advitised else where so can and will if need be be removed at anytime Again absolutely no timewasters/ tyre kickers Any questions ask away,I will ans when I can and to the best of my knowledge. £1500 or very best offer THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN LISTED NOW 3 TIMES…3THREES IDIOTS HAVE PRESSED THE BUY IT NOW BUTTON BUT NOT FOLLOWED THROUGH.. 1- sports3211…bought it for £1500 ..never paid …never came for it,offered £950 over phone..total dickhead 2- avia3355…bought it for £1500 never paid but said he would if it was ok …was coming from Cambridge…total dickhead 3-joluxury sales…this idiot had tried to buy it earlier when it was supposedly sold ( yawn ) and when it came up for the third time actually bought it ,asked for my number and haven’t heard a thing since,not replying to messages, not answering the phone..dickhead number 3 Relisted a fourth time..this time you press the button to buy I want £200 deposit within 2hrs of bid or your bid will be cancelled, you buy it and actually do pay the deposit I want it collected and paid for in 7days or your bid will be cancelled….DO NOT PRESS THE BUY IT NOW ONLY TO WANT TO VIEW IT/ MAKE AN OFFER. I’ve been as honest as possible regarding this car by far the cheapest 4.8is out there…took it out for a drive yesterday and drove absolutely as it should but I do think it still has a intermittent drive chain fault some where … 4th time listed due to yet another timewaster…. Going to remove the buy it now because of the previous 4 activated it then …well actually nothing.. WHO EVER WINS AND IS ACTUALLY GOING TO GO THROUGH WITH IT HAS TO PAY THE DEPOSIT WITHIN 2HRS OF COMMITTING TO IT. .there’s is absolutely no excuse why you dont..and believe me ive heard them all since its been listed..grown blokes giving it the big sob story, jesus go a pair…1 idiot actually said that the car was in a bad way,gearbox totalled and probably the engine too..but he would give me £1000 get the train up,have me pick him up from station and he would drive this apparently fcked car back to London.. doing me a favour too..Holy shit Read the description and decide… I’ve just serviced the main box,replaced the filter and of course the oil,replace the sleeve seals and bridge seal..removed each change/ select solenoid and cleaned wth brake clean…parts £180+ vat..still the same but convinced its not the main box..possibly the actuator in transfer box..this has been mentioned a few times during listing’s as has the upgraded wheels.. Drives absolutely fine just sometimes pulling away feels like a little flat spot on a tyre which it hasn’t got. Again you try to find another 4 8is for £1500
