Thanks mate

Got the clunking resolved it needed a new gear selector

Didn't know that about the fog , great info

Thanks for that mate , something not quite right with mine so booked in with dealer to be looked at

Went to London this week in it, horrendous weather and traffic but this car made it effortless, set active cruise and relaxed all the way there

Nice choices to have mate, X5M all in one total beast

Have you drove the F90 M5, absolute luxurious monster, few pics of the one I had, on the look out now for a black comp

Thanks mate

Apart from fuel economy and reduced service intervals, probably not.

If yours is anything like mine though, you need to be making considerable progress to get above 5th or 6th :D

Sport mode will keep you in much lower gears if within the speed limits. Never fully tested the X6 ...

Really like the extra boost it gives, is there any downside to driving in sport all the time?

Hi Nick,
Photos look great, would put some up of my steed, but you know me and IT :)), my phone even runs off steam. Will pop some up, when i upload some on Imgur Etc. Im liking the X5 more each time i drive it, having to quell thoughts of an X5M atm, i think they are all things to ...
