Hi, X5 Newbie

Post by aep » Thu Mar 24, 2011 7:53 am

Hi.

After test driving a remapped BMW (which I missed out on!) I took the plunge and got a 2006 3.0D X5. I have not picked up the car yet but after some research Jason at Chiptune came up on many searches. A very helpful and brief discussion with Jason resulted in me joining the Forum!!

I am a seasoned Forum user and hope to learn much about the car over the coming years :)

Previously I have owned a few 5 Series but always aspired to the X5!!

Picking the car up next week :D

Jas did say I have to be on here for a year before the discount!! Recommended as a great place for resources :)

Once I work out how to upload an image I will put one up.

Nice to have such a warm welcome

Hi there and welcome.
Having driven a re-mapped X as well as a standard 3.0 diesel, I can only recommend you do all you can to have Jason do his magic.

Somehow he manages to insert midrange power and efficiency.

Top man I reckon.

Thanks all. Superb info on the forum. Been reading loads although the 'problems' section is a little off putting :)
