Haha, I'd have needed to have had those in the first place to miss them 

Received a surprise email from my dealer a few days ago. It contained a link to a video showing my new X5 having just been unloaded from the car transporter :P It still had all the protective plastic all over it and bits of trim missing, so definitely pre-PDI but I thought it was a nice touch ...

Actually I think you do need both the sports steering wheel and sports auto box. The sports auto box is £195 and the sports steering wheel is £110. So together that seems to be the price difference between the standard auto model and the sports auto model, at least that's the case on the 40D on the o ...

Hi Richard, I've got a xDrive40d SE on order and 100% sure I will have the paddles. In my case I've ordered the Dynamic Pack which includes this option. I believe the option to have the paddles without the Dynamic Pack is the Sports Automatic Transmission which is a £305 premium on the 30D. I don't ...

I was lucky enough to go to the Porsche Experience Centre yesterday. I was there as a guest of my friend who is a Cayenne owner. Had a great day which consisted of: - driving 911s around the 2 handling tracks and also doing full bore launch control starts. Drove both a manual Carrera 2S Coupe and a ...

How did they mess up your tax disc ezactly? And why did this leave you out of pocket?

Do you think it will make much real life difference to the way the X5 drives ? And worth waiting for ? I find this all too confusing :-( I think if you're thinking of buying a new X5 right now you would probably want to make sure your car had these updates. However, if you're looking at a used car ...

Seems the MPG and CO2 emissions have just gotten even better, at least on paper. See my other forum posting:

http://xdrivers.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,9969.0.html

Just realised something else :) The CO2 emissions for the xDrive40d have dropped down a band. The first year road tax has therefore dropped from £290 to £180. Subsequent year renewals will be £170 per annum as opposed to £280 at the current rates. Good on you BMW. It's only a few pounds in the sch ...

That's a very well spec'ed car. I'm sure you'll really enjoy it when you take delivery - will make a fine Christmas pressie  :xmaswink:

I've been trying very hard to resist going mad on the options with my own order. There are so many tempting options... Oh resist, resist...

My dealer sent me a document over the weekend which shows some small changes to the entire UK BMW model range over July/August 2014. I've included the pages from the X5 F15 section below: http://i57.tinypic.com/287i5fk.png http://i60.tinypic.com/ejvqet.png There is also a section covering changes to ...

Has anyone seen this MY2015 update list yet? https://www.press.bmwgroup.com/usa/pressDetail.html?title=model-year-2015-update-information&outputChannelId=9&id=T0182709EN_US&left_menu_item=node__4101 Specifically here are some excepts from the X5 section: "As of September 2014 production, there will ...

Update: Changed the colour on my order from Sophisto Grey to Mineral White after seeing the pics below. My car will now look like this, albeit with quadrilateral exhausts, aluminium side steps and titanium grill, but no LED headlights or privacy glass 8) http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/attachment ...

Congrats on your new car. Looks fabulous.

I've just changed my order colour from Sophisto Grey to Mineral White. My car will be a SE with dynamic pack though not an M Sport like yours. But I do like yours 

Thanks guys. Has anyone compared the BMW Advanced Loudspeaker System to the Harmon Kardon? The car I test drove had the standard speaker system which wasn't great. However, the first dealer demonstrator I sat in many months ago had the Advanced Loudspeaker system in it. Although I was just flicking ...
