Re: Any x5 owners come from E61 5 series touring?

The X5 is an impressive looking car with road presence, and you feel good driving it. The 3.0d might feel a bit sluggish in comparison. Also the X5 is a little hard to park in tight spaces,..but it is a big 4x4, reverse camera really helps with parking. You do get used to the size however.

Re: Just ordered lux version 4

I heard that there is some flickering of the lights when they get turned off, that would put me off.

Re: "Vehicle check" coming up on the (CBS) Condition Based Service, how much?

OK, I didn't think the MOT was due in Oct as it had an MOT'd recently also, perhaps the garage forgot to reset this feature on the car? or is it some other kind of safety check kind of inspection??

Thanks
