Thanks, we didn't want to cover the whole boot, for our needs the linked item was great as it fits well and still looks smart.  I suspect most people needing that kind of all boot liner should have bought a LR discovery for all the rambling, fishing, dog walking and general farming they are up to

Having bought the crappy piece of material thing and sent it back, my wife spoke to local dealership - Scotthall Milton Keynes, who were very helpful indeed and ordered us in one of these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-Genuine-Tailored-Luggage-Cargo-Boot-Mat-E70-X5-51470444754-/171020962122?pt=UK ...

Looks ugly in my opinion but will no doubt grow on me like the new X5 is starting to

Dealer called me today and we had a good chat, he'd joked with his dealer principal about the dodgy car he sold me - apparently it had had a windscreen stone chip repair so that was worth knowing. They'd had it repaired by their repairer. He offered for me to take it back and they'd repair it again ...

Apologies for belated pic and fact that it is an iphone one and only one photo but you've seen an x5 before :) http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/2771/7v1o.jpg Uploaded with ImageShack.us Really pleased with it, wife even more so as it is mainly her car. Is was reg'd in May 2013 and had done around ...

Thanks, I thought it (internet) would be useless from what I'd read. Old technology by sound of it. Connected drive is I'm sure same connection mechanism but didn't seem too slow. Can't visit sites as far as I can tell but then I'd use my smart phone for that probably. I think this is too early at ...

pvr - does yours have HUD ?  If not then Admiral are very happy to replace for the windscreen excess it seems, my issue is only in relation to HUD as far as I can tell.

Was pleasantly surprised to try out connected drive in the car tonight for the first time. The iphone app is a bit dissapointing, it seems a bit hit and miss at locating and locking/unlocking the car and only works within 1.5km due to "privacy reasons". I can sort of see the point if you park at ...

Thanks guys. I've emailed the dealer to ask if he's aware of a repair - if he says "no" definitively then I'm inclined to get a 2nd opinion on a repair as clearly they would know if this has been done. The guy seems to think the chip was in there when we bought the car and we didn't notice it but ...

Hmmmmm so the chap from the windscreen repair place came out today and says he can't repair it as it has already been repaired once and "sounds" different when you tap it to glass sound. Not sure if this is borrocks but seems a bit unfortunate for a 3 month old car to have had two stone chips in ...

Thanks.  I think your windscreen comments relate to a replacement rather than a repair?  I think we'll see how the repair goes but if it needs replacing will strongly suggest to Admiral that BMW need to do it, they knew it had HUD so tough if it costs more to get BMW to do it.....

Had car a week and missus sheepishly said she had something to tell me last night.... I thought maybe she'd kerbed wheels or dinged the bodywork, it was just a stone chip. Can't recall the last time either of us had a stone chip, don't do many miles in which to get one. Is it because it is a 13 ...

Thanks, will take a look

Thanks, sounds like a nightmare
