Re: 2010 X5 40d for Sale

After numerous queries (I think someone is actually trolling me). The car is in fact a 4 wheel drive (All wheel drive) not 2wd as someone who rang for a quick argument would not accept. :) And the car is a 3.0 twin turbo diesel with 306 bhp. It also has an 8 speed auto box as part of the LCI upgrade ...

Reversing in the winter

Winter has come and Mid Wales is dark! Can anyone tell me if i can expect the rear camera to be useless at night? I cant decide if the reversing bulbs consist of fireflies? or my rear camera is broken. In the day fine happy green lines and a clear view but at night I can hardly see anything, its the ...
