Re: Mercedes GLE or X5

After much deliberation X5 30d with MSport plus package is the way to go.
Need to decide between Carbon Black, Space Grey or Mineral White.

I'm edging towards Mineral White does this suit the X5 ??

Mercedes GLE or X5

Hi Guys

Has anyone moved from a GLE to an X5 if so what are your thoughts on both cars ?

I'm currently looking at both cars but can't decide which to go for.

Any help however biased is welcome.

Currently have F25 X3 2.0d MSport.

Cheers

After having a new ECU on mine it's still piss poor, 22mpg. :x

If Jason can do anything with a map that will improve the MPG i would be definately interested.

Anyone what the petrol versions of the E70 do MPG wise ?

Re: E70 FL Daytime driving lights - LED angel eyes ?

If yours dont match the Xenons you need to get some GP Thunder H8 bulbs.
I've just ordered a set for £20 delivered from the States.

Re: would you like more MPG on the E70

On the back of my post a few days ago over shite mpg, the dealer rang me earlier to state that my e70 has had a new DDE unit installed and all the software reloaded onto it.
I'm hoping this will improve the mpg.
Has anyone else had a new DDE unit fitted ??

Re: would you like more MPG on the E70

Hi Jason, we spoke a few weeks ago (not sure if you remember) the nearest guy you had in my neck of the woods was in Hull. I'm only getting 17-19 round town from my 3.0d and about 25 on the m/way.

MPG 3.0d

Hi Guys

Be interested to know what MPG your getting from your diesel E70s.
The used 3.0d I picked up last week is only getting 18-20 round town.
A mates E53 4.4 doesnt seem to do any worse than mine.

Re: x5 30d (2011) vs 40d 1nd 35d

I've recently bought a used 3.0d and the MPG on it is p*ss poor.
Lucky if I get over 20 round town.
