XSeries-forum

Hi all - couple of weeks in to a 2010 x5 in Sapphire Black, 3.0D MSport - pretty impressed with it so far, but still learning to live with it after my previous BMW.

Now:


4 years of playing around in this:


Anyone know how I can get the mirrors to auto close (dealer coding?) or to get camera alerts on the sat nav?

Cheers chappers

Hi and welcome to the forum, well quite a transformation from the M3. 

Hello and Welcome.....

In answer to your questions.....

1.  Requires coding but Dealers won't do it for 'Health & Safety' reasons......don't ask!!  You need to join a coders forum such as bmwcoders dot com.

2.  Probably not possible due to the hard drive map database in use on the CIC type iDrive.  It uses 3 DVDs and you need a licence key from a Dealer.  New maps are £25 and the key is £175 plus VAT for both.... >:(  I don't think anyone has found a way to amend the discs (yet).  I use a separate Road Angel for that bit.

Welcome!

Pls tell me that's not a CSL!?! Can't see the rear spoiler to be sure!

If it is...

It's got a sunroof......CSL's didn't have them if I remember as they had CF roofs for better weight balance.

It's still a very nice toy even so..... :drive:

Welcome to the made house. I too would like the auto fold option so may follow X5SPORT's advice and join the coding forum.

Sanj, didn't the cls have a CF roof?

Doh!  Once again too slow with the typing.

Bloody nerds!  )

Think you're right. I know bugger all, just remember seeing one overtake 5 cars in one go on a B-road and oh what a noise!

Lol sorry for the late reply guys - early night, riding in the prudential London100 today so needed some kip.

Yep, only a standard M3 tho - genuine CSL alloys on H&R springs but that's as far as the external mods went really. Proper quick car though and I will have another one at some point.

Thanks for the advice on the maps and folding mirrors!!

Hi & welcome,

Hope you like the E70..........it might not be as much of a hoon as the E46 M3 on rural twisty roads but in London traffic it is likely to be far more comfortable.

Considering the minor differences I find it odd how many rate the CSL so significantly higher than the standard E46 M3.

Minor but significant differences.

Welcome OP

Welcome aboard and nice X.

Like the M3 too. Bet you miss it.

Quite significant differences really hence the very significant differences in driving pleasure.
