Def get it mapped , you'll be stunned how quick it'll hit 80mph, I even stayed with a Mercedes SL55amg in mine and he only crept away over 80

Clearly he wasn't trying !

Can't believe I'm agreeing with 535dboy twice in a row, but I am.....

I knew we would bond eventually

Does this mean we are best of buddies now?  I think so.......I'll be round shortly to borrow the lotus.

you are welcome but I've just had a recall on it from Lotus

Apparently some oil could leak out and catch fire and I might die
If that doesn't happen, oil my leak on tyres, I crash, I might die

Failing that, while I drive it to dealer my brakes may fail /(because they need changing) so I might die

I kid you not with the first two, they mention fatality in the letter  :blink:

In which case I'd get them to come and collect it !

Took the X5 to my mates garage today to get a new number plate light bulb. Took 2 minutes didn't charge me anything.

£2k seems to be about average - even if bl@@dy annoying!

There are a few on here who have cars with the suspension delete and have said it gives a much more comfortable ride on runflats.

I haven't test drove one with the M Sport suspension deletion so i wouldn't know. I went down a cobbled street today and it is very smooth.

[X5Sport]

You would be visiting a dentist if you had the suspension fitted......fillings shaken loose..

Richard

[ex540d]

Thank god it has m sport suspension deletion then.
I love the width of the rear tyres it looks like a monster from the back.
One thing which is abit of a pain with the car is that the ipod is connected via Aux. So you have to change the track with the ipod. Is there another way of doing this ?

[X5Sport]

Bluetooth streaming.  Assuming it's been fitted as an option?

Richard

[ex540d]

Whats the option called ?

[X5Sport]

You should find it in the Phone Section with the option to pair bluetooth devices.  There is a music symbol there.

Check for Bluetooth Audio under the CD/Ent button on the iDrive and external devices options.

You obviously need an iPod with bluetooth too.  I know many do have it though.

Richard

[ex540d]

It doesn't have it.
The wife has copied and pasted her songs from itunes onto a USB and when the USB is in the car it will show the name of the songs and you can move them on with the steering wheel.

[ex540d]

There is no protection to the rear wheel arches. Does anybody know of anywhere in the Manchester area that will fit some protective film to protect them from stone chippings ?
Thanks

The dealer told me that the wheels had been refurbed before it was put on sale. Do you think that the wheels will corrode again ?
Cheers

[X5Sport]

It's possible.  It will depend upon what conditions they are subjected to and how well they were refurbed.  If you use non-acidic cleaners, and a wheel sealant that should help.

Richard

[ex540d]

Is it a problem with all diamond cuts ? I never had a problem with the ones on my Audi ?
I use non-acidic cleaners and wheel sealant yes.
