Moved to the dark side

[Piff]

After many years of MB (or Audi) ownership we have sold the SLK & the E Class Cabriolet and bought a BMW X3.
Black, with an Ivory/Black leather interior and a panoramic roof.
Trying to get to grips with the different way of operating similar features.

I’m more enamoured with what looks to be a very nice looking L200 Barbarian LB in the background!

Looks very nice ! Is it true indicators are an optional extra buddy

Yes, you are right. L200 was bought when 3 months old in 2010. Now has about 56,000 miles on the clock. Just had a big service bill with all the belts changed. Other than 1 set of tyres (old ones perished rather than wore out), 1 set of brake pads and regular servicing it hasn't cost a penny.
Bodywork around the load area is a bit scratched - but it is a working vehicle.

This one is pretty well spec'ed by the previous owner - I believe it has about £6k of extras. The indicators were standard but as a BMW driver I don't think their use is compulsory
