so just about a year later on this thread...
just a couple of updates...
besides having maintenance done on these cars, i decided to jump brands, last year April. The X5 M50d, was sold and I opted for a Porsche Cayenne GTS. Having looked for a while, I found a nicely spec'd one , and went ahead with the deal.

Its a totally different drive to the X5, and although its the wifes daily, I get to drive it on weekends.
After driving the GTS to Dbn during lockdown, the Porsche "bug" started to bite, long story short, I ended up finding a decent 997, manual, with the aero kit & some performance bits.
Got to track it at Kyalami twice, and absolutely loved every minute of it.

Fast forward a few months, the F80/2 was missing from the "M" stable. I searched daily for a long time, until I found a black F80 comp. I know black is a mission to keep clean, and I vowed never to get another black car, but this 1 whispered my name at all hours of the night. I ended up getting the F80 earlier this year.
