SatNav

Couple of questions regarding the SatNav in my 2010 Facelift X5. Looks like it only supports first 4 characters of the postcode. Is there any way to get it to support the full postcodes?

Re: Hello from Hampshire

I know what you mean about the slow speed ride. I have definately started to be more selective when negotiating potholes and broken road surfaces. Sports suspension, 20" wheels and runflats dont make for the a comfy ride!!

Folding Mirrors

Is there any way to program them so they fold when you switch the engine off and unfold when you start up. I have had this on other cars but the ones on my X5 need to be done manually.
