2010 59 REG BMW X5 XDRIVE 30D AC 5S A OPPORTUNITY TO OWN ONE OF THE BEST KNOWN 4X4S MONEY CAN BUY AND A HUGELY DISCOUNTED PRICE THERE TRUELY ARENT WORDS TO DESCRIBE THE EXPERIENCE OF DRIVING THIS CAR, AS STATED IN THE SUB-TITTLE THIS IS AN EX POLICE VEHICLE WHICH SERVED FOR LANCASHIRE CONSTABULARY FROM NEW. AS MANY OF YOU WILL PROBABLY BE AWARE THIS MEANS THE CAR IS OF A VERY BASE LEVEL SPEC AS THE POLICE DONT REALLY REQUIRE THE LUXURY PERKS (ESPECIALLY WHEN OUR TAXS PAY FOR IT) THIS MAKES THE CAR AN IDEAL CANDIDATE FOR A PROJECT CAR FOR SOME ONE TO PERSONALISE OR A GREAT FAMILY CAR FOR SOMEBODY WITH YOUNG CHILDREN OR PETS. THERE IS HOWEVER A BIG PLUS SIDE TO IT BEING AN EX POLICE CAR WHICH IS THE CONDITION AND MAINTENANCE THE CAR HAS UNDERGONE FIRST OF ALL I MUST COMMENT ON THE SERVICE HISTORY THAT ACCOMPANIES THIS CAR AS I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. THERE IS LITERARILY A RECORD OF EVERY SINGLE BIT OF WORK IT HAS EVER HAD DONE EVEN DOWN TO THE LAST PUNCTURE !!! NOW THATS WHAT I CALL A SERVICE HISTORY RECORD AND FOR THIS REASON WE HAVE THIS BEAUTIFUL CAR WHICH HAS NEVER IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM BEEN NEGLECTED, ANYTHING IT HAS NEEDED HAS BEEN DONE ASAP USING THE HIGHEST QUALITY PARTS AND SERVICES MONEY CAN BUY THE DRIVE ON THIS CAR IS SIMPLY UNBELIEVABLE, THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF ANY UNWANTED RATTLES, BANGS OR KNOCKS AND THE CAR IS SO TIGHT AND COMPACT YOU WOULD FEEL IT HAS JUST LEFT THE SHOWROOM. THE GEAR CHANGES ARE SILKY SMOOTH WHETHER YOU ARE TOWN DRIVING OR SHOOTING DOWN A SLIP ROAD AND THE COMFORT IS SECOND TO NONE THE SHEER POWER AND TORQUE ON THIS CAR IS OF A NATURE YOU JUST DONT EXPECT FROM A BIG 4X4, THE CAR AS STANDARD IS A 232 BHP MODEL, HOWEVER IT HAS BEEN REMAPPED BY OBVIOUSLY AN EXPERT WHO MAPS POLICE VEHICLES, WE WERE TOLD THE CAR IS NOW RUNNING A MASSIVE 260 BHP !!! AND BELIEVE ME YOU CAN FEEL EVERY BIT OF THAT POWER WHEN YOU PUSH IT. ONE OTHER HUGE ADVANTAGE OF THIS IS THAT AS MANY OF YOU KNOW A DIESEL CAR REMAP MAKES A VERY BIG IMPROVEMENT TO THE ALL IMPORTANT FUEL ECONOMY, I HONESTLY CANNOT FEEL A DIFFERENCE IN FUEL WHETHER I DRIVE THIS CAR OR MY 1.9 VECTRA CDTI SRI ON MY MOTOR WAY JOURNEYS BODYWORK WISE THERE IS NOT A SINGLE BLEMISH IN SIGHT ON THE PAINTWORK AND ALL PANELS ARE FLAWLESS, I HAVE EVEN ADDED MUD-GAURDS AND COLOUR CODED THEM AS WELL AS ALL THE OTHER TRIMS TO GIVE IT THE SLEEK LOOK IT NOW BOASTS THE INTERIOR IS ALSO IN FANTASTIC CONDITION WITH NO RIPS OR TEARS IN THE CLOTH SEATS AND NONE OF THE BUTTONS OR HANDLES SHOW MAJOR SIGNS OF USAGE. ALL THE ASHTRAYS ARE UNUSED AS IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN A NON SMOKING VEHICLE NOW FOR THE NEGATIVES; UNFORTUNATELY THERE A FEW MINOR NEGATIVE POINTS WHICH ARE PREDOMINANTLY RELATED TO THE CAR BEING AN EX POLICE VEHICLE, BELOW IS A LIST: THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR TRIM IS MISSING THE GLOVE BOX RELEASE SPRING HAS BECAME LOOSE AND SOMETIMES DECIDED TO POP OPEN (VERY COMMON FAULT ON THIS SHAPE X5S) A COUPLE OF SMALL INTERIOR TRIMS HAVE HOLES OR MARKINGS FROM WHERE THE POLICE EQUIPMENT HAD BEEN FITTED THE POLICE DEACTIVATED THE REAR WINDOWS FROM OPENING FOR OBVIOUS REASONS AND SO THEY NEED TO BE RE CONNECTED TO THE SWITCHES AND THAT IS IT, I HAVE HAD ALL THESE FAULTS PRICED UP FROM A LOCAL GARAGE AT £250 TO BE PUT RIGHT, HOWEVER DUE TO THE LACK OF TIME I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET THEM DONE AND SO I HAVE INSTEAD PRICED THE CAR AT £500 BELOW THE RECOMMENDED PRICE FOR THIS CAR AT THIS SPEC TO BE FAIR THE ROAD TAX IS VALID TILL THE END OF APRIL AND IT CURRENTLY HAS MOT TILL THE END OF SEPTEMBER SO NO NEED TO WORRY ABOUT THEM, ALSO I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THIS CAR COMES UNDER THE LOWER 4X4 TAX BRACKET. THE MILEAGE IS 162K WHICH IS NOTHING FOR THESE BULLET PROOF GERMAN TANKS AND IF I HONESTLY COVERED UP THE MILEAGE YOU WOULD 100% SAY ITS DONE AROUND 30K BECAUSE IT REALLY IS SO SMOOTH AND QUIET VIEWINGS AND ANY TESTS OR INSPECTIONS ARE MOST WELCOME IN EITHER CHADDERTON MANCHESTER OR BURNLEY LANCASHIRE £15495 ono
