Re: New X5 and BMW Connect

turns out when the dealer linked up my phone, he didn't click the audio media option, so redid the Bluetooth, and hey presto works a treat. I can now stream spotify from my phone to the car stereo via Bluetooth, and change tracks, as well as see the current track. So happy now that it all works as ...

Re: New X5 and BMW Connect

Thats going to be fun then - I am pretty sure we talked about streaming music over bluetooth, so a quick call to the dealer tomorrow to discuss further. Pretty poor show that a car like this doesnt have streaming music bluetooth as standard, and even worse that it wasnt explained when we went ...

Re: Anyone fitted side steps to an M Sport?

so no one so far has done this? My better half is finding the jump from a raised seat to the floor quite high, and will not let me put out some steps...

There has to be something!

Thanks

Anyone fitted side steps to an M Sport?

BMW says they are not available because of the M Sport kit, but someone somewhere must have fitted something?

Would welcome any information

Thanks

New X5 and BMW Connect

Hi All Just got my new X5 this week, very happy with it, but just trying to figure the value of the BMW connect package. Has anyone got texts from their phone appearing on the display and being read out?, I have an android samsung phone, and it seems to offer less functionality than the IPhone. Be ...

Re: Help with specification for X5

Thanks everyone - some useful tips. I did look at some ex-demo and 1 year old models, but I have to say that on auto trader they seem to hold their price, no one seems to be selling at the bargain prices I thought, given the second hand prices some of you have mentioned on the forum. Nearly every ...

Re: Help with specification for X5

Thanks Richard - I see a lot of differing opinions about the suspension, the car I had for the day had M sport suspension which seemed OK, but I haven't tried the other options to try them out. I will see if I can get a test drive with the normal options. I will probably have to forgo the comfort ...

Re: Decision Time F15 X 5 or RR Sport ??

Interesting thread - I have just had a new demo RR sport for the day, and then swapped to an X5 3.0 M sport for a day. As a current RR owner for the last 8 years I am biased, but then previously had had two X5's which i really liked. The RR sport technically seems much better, its very smart, looks ...

Help with specification for X5

Hi All I am purchasing a new X5 3.0TD, and they have a couple of pre-reg models that seem good value over ordering a custom spec, but are fixed specs. I wonder if you can give me some feedback on which are worth having? Spec 1 ZGF Dynamic package 3AG Reversing Assist camera 402 Panoramic glass ...
