2018 BMW X5 3.0d M Sport Estate

Description

So, I’ve had this 2018 BMW X5 3.0d M Sport estate for a few years now — it’s been a real joy to drive, and honestly, I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a diesel SUV with so much going on under the skin.

It’s got the Alpine White paint, and I’ve had it serviced by the main dealer a few times, so it’s been properly looked after. Only 3 previous owners, just 74k miles, and the last MOT was clean with no warnings. First registered in June 2018, and it’s been a solid 12 months since the last service.

The engine’s a 3.0-litre diesel — 255bhp — and it’s got that ZF 8-speed auto gearbox with paddle shifters. It’s smooth, quiet, and doesn’t feel like a workhorse — more like a proper family SUV with serious capability.

I did a bit of custom work on it myself — fresh gloss black styling kit with a front splitter, rear diffuser, and a new roof spoiler. The front grille got a full black update too. And the wheels? They’re 20-inch M Sport alloys, powder-coated black, freshly refurbished, with all four tyres still in good shape. I’ve had the brakes checked too — all discs and pads are healthy.

Inside, it’s all M Sport — black leather seats with electric adjustment, heated, and the front seats have full power controls. There’s a full 360-degree camera system, digital dash with speed limit display, a factory wireless Apple CarPlay screen, cruise control with brake function, and even head-up display. There’s also lane departure warning, parking sensors, pedestrian alert, and collision avoidance.

I’ve had the body polished recently — fresh two-stage paint correction — so it looks like it’s just been given a good deep clean.

It’s ULEZ compliant, tax is £195 a year, and I’ve had it through a full HPI check — clear. I’ve also got a 3-month warranty from X Autohaus, which I’ve been running as a personal dealer.

I’m based in Aberdovey, Gwynedd, so if you’re around, I’m happy to chat or meet up. It’s not just a car — it’s a proper daily driver with a lot of smart tech and solid build.

If you’re thinking about something reliable, spacious, and well-equipped — this one might just be for you.

(Price is £23,805 — it’s a fair bit less than the original asking, and I’m offering it as a personal sale.)
