Welcome to the sale of my lovely X5 30D SE Auto.

Please read the description fully before bidding. 

I bought this vehicle from a dealer around 9 months ago for £16,750. Drove perfectly for around 3-4 months then suddenly it started making a knocking noise in the engine area. I had it looked at by a local garage (non BMW)as didn’t want to drive it far, they said likely injectors as apparently it’s a common fault on these. As I own 3 other cars, I wasn’t in a rush to fix it and parked it up on my drive. Might be a cheap fix for someone mechanically inclined. 

Fast forward 5-6 months and it’s still sitting here! Tried to start it last week, battery flat. I’ve fitted a brand new battery for £360 and it’s starts perfectly fine. So you now have a new battery included. 

Car runs and drives but I wouldn’t drive it in case it causes more damage? I’m no mechanic, you drive it at your own risk. I’d advise it to be trailered away.

Mot just ran out 3 weeks ago. 

Now the good bits.

I have done some research and worse case scenario an engine rebuild is between £2000-2500. If you google you’ll see lots of places doing this. this car is HPI clear, once fixed it’s worth at least £15k. The cheapest SE with under 90k miles on autotrader or eBay is over £15k. So you just need to take into consideration your fixing cost.

Please be aware, you are bidding to buy. You are welcome to come view the car before auction ends. I just need it gone off my drive so no timewaters please.
