Hi, i'm looking for an X5 3.0td sport. Anything in particular I should be aware of? When was the face lift and imporvements to the airbags and engine power etc? 06/03 I think.. Would that be a 53 plate minimum?

Thanks.. Oh, any specifications I should look for/avoid?

Avoid Oxford Green (or equivalent) and light leather or wood, particularly if you have kids. Otherwise auto, comms pack and anything else you can get from the options list.

I understand that from late 2003, the BHP went from 185 to 220. Is this simply a chip upgrade?
