    It says it comes with indicators, although it's first car I have had where I have had to download an app to access some of the cars features when it turns up :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    I had the G01 X3 (2020) previously from new and it was a lovely motor. Thought it was a massive upgrade on the previous model. I actually went to look at the X5 when I traded my M3 in but I was so surprised by the new (at the time) X3 I ended up getting that instead and fully loaded it with pretty much every option so it came in around £52k with their discount but in my opinion it was a LOT of car for the money.

    Sold it end of last year as I ended up joining the EV salary sacrifice scheme at work and I went for the Audi Q8 E-Tron instead of the BMW IX purely down to aesthetics because I think the IX looks awful. Q8 is a lovely car, interior etc is another level but one thing that really pisses me off is that i picked the Black Edition which is only one down from top of the range Vorsprung and it doesn’t even come with the HUD or multicoloured ambient lighting that my X3 did. £85k motor as well..

    Other than little things like that I can’t knock the car it’s lovely but the range is obviously an issue on longer drives in the winter as you find with most EV’s. It’s not the end of the world for us with having two young kids we just pop into the services for some food and a coffee while it charges for half an hour but if you just want to get where you’re going then it’s not ideal.

    I did consider the q5
    However I got a great deal on the x3 £59000 car and got it for £50000 after discount and barter

    If a two seater 'plane accidentally flies into British Airspace, the UK will scramble 2 x $120 million Typhoon Fighter Jets to potentially shoot it down, but if a boat filled with 60 military age men, who we don't know, arrives, the UK pays for them to live here . . . . why ?
