Hi I am thinking about selling my X5 and would really appreciate some advice please! 1. The mileage is 98k. Am I right in thinking that if I am to sell I should do it before I reach 100k? 2. What do you think the car is worth if I sold it maybe next month (please see below for all the information ...

I am sure you are right about the looks but if it really improves the ride quality I don't really mind that much. Also I don't think there is anything wrong with the car, at least that is what BMW said when I queried the bumpy ride! OK, I will buy £300 ones and if they don't make much difference I ...

Hi I have decided to try some smaller wheels and tyres to try and make the car a bit more comfortable. At the moment the tyres are 19 inches and I would like to try 17 inches. I will try and find some second hand but here are 3 types I have found. Type 1 http://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/bmw_alloy ...

Hi Thanks. I just watched a youtube review of the new shape VW Touareg and the reviewer was saying how comfy it was and how he couldn't feel the bumps in the road. That sounds great, the only problem is the way the car looks. It just looks very boring I think. That said I have a local VW Dealership ...

Hi

Thanks - I will certainly investigate then. By the way mine is a Sport (not a non-Sport).

Hi If I do get an E70, it will be one that has 'Adaptive Drive'. And from what I have read the ride will be better. I would hope an E70 with AD would be more comfortable than an E53 without AD. But you never know! Incidentally, I can't wait for the children to be old enough so they can put on their ...

Hi

Will changing the wheels to 17" ones really make a lot of difference to the Ride Quality?

Thanks

Sally

Hi Thanks for the reply - very informative. 1. In terms of Ride Quality, I should therefore avoid E70s with the "Dynamic Package" option (harder ride) and instead seek out E70s with the "Adaptive Drive" option (softer settings)? Have I understood that correctly? also 2. With standard equipment and ...

Hi I have an E53 but don’t like the bumpy ride. So I am considering the E70. I will of course have a test drive (or two!) to compare the ride quality. But in the meantime please may I ask a few questions? I don’t really understand the differences between the SE and Sport models (despite reading so ma ...

Hi

Thanks very much for all the excellent information!

Hi Thanks for the replies. Yes the car is the sport model with 19" tyres. I am sorry I don't know anything about the suspension! I'm sorry I did not notice the hard ride on the test drive. I was a bit nervous driving a car of this size and I guess I wasn't really taking everything in. Re. the ...

Hi I don't have the best roads where I live and the bumpy ride is a bit annoying. By the way BMW checked it and said the ride was normal. Anyway I am therefore thinking about changing the E53 for something a bit more comfy! Please could someone tell me what my E53 is worth? Here are the details ...

Hi there Sorry for what seems like (and is!) a very basic question. But I have always wondered something. When I turn the key on my 2005 X5 3.0 diesel, should I wait until all the lights on the dash board go out before I fully turn the key and start the car? There is nothing wrong with the car, it's ...

Hi Thanks for the info, I will do as you say then! Just one question, for anyone who can answer really. Does anyone on here have the BMW installed subwoofer? Can you hear it when it is switched on? I realise that it won't be as good as other subwoofers but is it better than nothing? Thanks very much ...
