A few questions

Post by MSPORTBMW » Wed Dec 31, 2014 1:09 pm

Hi there....im now looking at trading my 04 x5 in for a E70 around the 08 year.

1...if the car has a pano roof, when the roof is closed, does it have a blind of some sort to block out all light?
2...How can i tell if the car has lumbar support? Does it have a button/switch etc somewhere? And do you only get lumbar support on comfort seats, or can you get lumbar on sports seats too?
3...Do all E70's have the down lights on the door handles?
4...do all E70's have the electric folding mirrors?

Sorry for all the questions

Thank you

Oh right......its just the X5 im looking at didnt show any pictures of the door panel and i forgot to ask the garage when i spoke to them....so it might well have it anyway. I take it, if it has the little button next to where you adjust the mirrors then its got folding mirrors?
Also....from one of the pics there is what looks like a button under the 2 central air vents (under the left of the 2 vents in the centre) Any idea what that is or if you have come across it before?

Well it is a very complex electrically opened glovebox so Q might have been involved....

All the E70 facelifts have the lights on the doorhandles. Can't speak for the pre-facelifts.

It'll be allright in the end. If it isn't allright it isn't the end
