Re: Collecting 2011 X5 today- my inspection checklist:

I like your name Mefster  ;) It sounds like you are not buying the car from BMW, so would have gone with some  pre purchase inspection myself. Your list looks good to me, don't forget to check the parking sensors/ camera work. Good luck with your purchase. and make sure you check all the items and d...

Re: BMW Insured warranty

Don't think any inspection is required. New owner won't be able to make any claim for first 30 days however.

The price of the BMW warranty goes up once car has hit 60,000 miles.

Re: Gloss or Matt Black Kidney Grill

How about going for a CF look as an alternate ?

Out of the two you mention I would go with the gloss, as they will look better when cleaned  (I do have the gloss black wheels though ) :)

Re: New Member

Welcome....Very nice looking car you have. Is it new? as the bit where the running boards go looks different to my pre facelift car. Or is that some subtle body kit of some type? as I see the bootlip spoiler also..  Sorry if that is a dumb question  :-[

Front Foglight bulb replacement for Whiter light,.. don't want LED's

I recently changed my Halo headlight bulbs for a set of LUX V3 bulbs, now I want to change the fog lights to emit a more white light and hence match. I know the car has the cornering lights function so think that LED lights will not work as the lights need to fade out gradually once the car drives o...

Re: Main dealer issues with AUC - any experiences?

I had a pretty bad buying experience with Ridgeway BMW in Portsmouth less than 8 weeks ago. From the initial  video of the car they sent me, to receiving the car was not a pleasant experience,  and actually quite stressful.  Even when I got the car there was some tool missing from the boot, I called...

Re: Setting the same cabin temp for driver and passenger

Thanks Richard, but that is not quite what I am looking for.

Perhaps it is no longer possible to control both front temp zones to be same as drivers.

If anyone knows different then would be great to hear how it is done.

Cheers

Setting the same cabin temp for driver and passenger

Hi All. Not sure if this feature has been engineered out of our cars typical functions, but....Is there a button that allows you to then set the same temp for both driver and front passenger by turning just one of the Climate dials and not having to turn both?  I am pretty sure I had this function i...

Re: Possible X6 Purchase

I think the parking camera is a must for these as the rear window is high up and small. The Boot closing aid also is good to have Get the upgraded stereo as the standard speakers are a little 2D I have only had mine for less than 2 months, but all good so far (fingers crossed) Getting new tyres will...
