Re: Place holder - Now changed in E70 ordered

[quote=""MJim""]The side view cameras don't help at all with avoiding kerbing the alloys, but the top view does.

Re: New X5 Owner!

The only tiny niggle I have is, why on a 50k car is comfort access a £800 option when you can buy a 15k car when it comes with it. That and compounding it by putting the slot right by the button just makes it cumbersome if you have anything else like housekeys on you the ring with it.

Re: New X5 Owner!

[quote=""535dboy""]Nice

Hasn't it got the wrong exhaust though!?!?[/quote]


Don't think so. It's the 40D SE with sports suspension, dynamic and media packs. I believe it's the Msport that has the oval exhausts. They're fine by us in any case
