Vehicle Details
AI Listing Summary
This 2005 BMW X5 3.0d Sport Auto has a desirable configuration with some nice factory extras, but has had 8 previous owners. While it starts and drives well, the aftermarket navigation, non-working CD changer and removed onboard TV/teletext functions may detract from its value.

Condition
6
The car description indicates moderate wear. There is no mention of dents or paint scratches. However, the presence of an aftermarket navigation unit, a non-working CD changer, and the removal of original features suggest some level of wear and the need for some reconditioning to bring it back to its original state.
