Just bought an X5 4.8is 2008 7 seater. Being delivered next week; hugely excited the test drive was awesome. I’ve got it booked in to have a dash cam added already as well as dension kit for iPod integration. I’ve read that the 4.8 engines benefit from frequent oil changes. Last service was at non-BM ...

Gatster interested to know if you got the 4.8i and how it has been since you got it? Mine is being delivered later this week and I’ve been wondering whether or not to shell out the £2000 for the BMW warranty for 1 year (ouch!) or just put that money in an account and hope nothing breaks.

Thanks!

Did you pay for fitting or self fit? My E70 2008 model will be delivered later this week and I’m going to move the dension kit across from my old E70 - can’t find any details on how to get the cd changer out yet though.

My E60 has a dension 500 with Bluetooth. Works great except that it has never synced contacts with iPhone - I have to use recent calls list to dial out. Self fit was easy behind the glove box and I got srn in Cambridge to code the car.
