Automatic headlights use a sensor, LDW uses a camera.  If you have the speed limit info option then there will be a camera for that but not without.

Mine definitely got a camera, when I asked the dealer why there is a camera he said it's for automatic headlight.

[quote="Pinewood"]
I enquired about a reversing camera and was quoted £600 , but 18 months on I find I’m perfectly able to look out the windows and use mirrors (plus parking sensors) to park the F25 with no bother. Save your cash i say.

Agreed, even I'm used to it now :-)

Have a look at bmwcoders on line.

I think you need an FSC licence key to enable it, and a bit of coding  :)

Good day :)

Re: Road Noise

[quote="gs223"] What speed(s) are the problem? My car gets a bit noisy at speeds >50mph, seems to involve some kind of resonance in the cabin.

Re: Road Noise

[quote="X5Sport"]
Common with all recent X’s in my experience.  BMWs are noisier due to removal of sound deadening and addition of runflats.  My X6 is much louder than my E53 was.  I thought there was something wrong too.

Many thanks for the info

Road Noise

Hello

I have a 3 week old X3 35d and the road noise is terrible when comparing to my old Volvo.

Is this is a common no issue with X3s? or do I need a visit to dealer?
