Newbie from Scotland

Post by Nictrix » Sun Oct 16, 2016 6:45 pm

Hi, bought a fairly low mileage X6 a few months ago and thought I would register here after browsing for a bit.
Car is a 2010 40D in Azurite Black
Loads of extras including full electric memory merino leather syrah blue comfort seats, HUD, active cruise  and more

Admittedly pics are not from today.
Its been great so far covering 5000 miles already effortlessly.
Only have one problem and thats the oil level reading too high.
Its been checked over with an oil change carried out and the garage says the sensor is faulty or it needs a software update.
He doesnt want to do a software update as the last one he done knacked the head unit as there is apparently a fault in BMWs update.
A blow out on the motorway last week resulted in new tyres for the front along with a hunter alignment.

I wasnt sure what to expect but it is very handy.
I sometimes forget it is there and still look at the speedo as its not in your face.
Excellent for satnav directions and speed limit display

Check the oil level in the dipstick.  BMW often overfill - and then accuse you of having done it!  Mine had almost 1/2litre removed because the technician had put exactly what the book said in after a change, forgetting not all of it comes out at drain!
