Tracker options new X5 ?

Changes every year, though often circles back to a name I’ve been with before. Right now I’m with Admiral - slightly cheaper than last year’s premium, but that co (Swiftcover) wanted to double last year’s (despite no claims).

Tracker options new X5 ?

Ghost - you set it up at the install but can change it when you like: basically you can use multiple buttons in the car in a sequence. So for example mine might be (but isn’t) nav button, right gear flap twice, indicate left. Point is that you choose the buttons and sequence and make it as short or a ...

M60i experiences

I should have added - the laser headlights are superb. I had one fail after a couple of months, replaced under warranty. They really do improve night driving hugely.

M60i experiences

I went to the M50i 2 years ago and love the 4.4 petrol engine. It’s seriously quick. Idk if they’ve changed much since then it’s the parking assist but i find it super useful. i use it all the time to parallel park in my street. it surprises me how small a space it can get into. I have only once insi ...

Tracker options new X5 ?

I have the Trackstar - fitted at the dealership prior to delivery - though they didnt do a great job, delayed delivery and didnt work with the tags when delivered (the tags that are required to be in the car when you start the car. Result in the first few days was that Trackstar kept clalling me to ...

Problem BMW app

So, no “problem” forum for the G05, guess they don’t have problems :) My new X5 seems to have one though. The BMW app says its unlocked and the bonnet is open. It’s not. It’s definitely locked and the bonnet is definitely shut. Opening and closing the bonnet made no difference, even when shut “forcef ...

M50i

Good that you can wait to replace. As for BMW’s X5 facelift, , I was hoping my new car would be the “current” model on the road until at least the end of the year :cry: :chophead: :| I got a revised order form from the Dealer today and it said wireless charging option deleted on it (for no extra char ...

A similar issue to yours - cant order “old” version RRS cant get a new one for over a year… is what brought me back to BMW. There was still a delay in ordering a new BMW, but I was able to find an order in progress that suited me. What do you think you’ll end up buying then?
