Re: BMW F15 X5 first impressions

Re: BMW F15 X5 first impressions Wobbles Thanks and thanks for another write-up of which Neil Humphrey of TST wld have been proud to call his own. I am sure the guys here enjoy it as well. I know I am!. Despite letting go my E70 (my first BMW) I do get a chance still ( not an easy one) to...

Re: BMW F15 X5 first impressions Wobbles Firstly as I have indicated before (probably a little biased from having driven a saloon all my life except for the 2 yrs + with the X5), the overall comfort was not great esp for the back passengers. The fit and finish of the E70 is also lacking...

Re: BMW F15 X5 first impressions Wobbles Congrats on the new X5. Despite my misgivings of the current E70 I have read fairly good reports /users review of the new version. Enjoy the ride and it wld be great if you do take some times to give us some feedbacks once you have had the chance...

Hi there Just an update. Recently car went in twice for service/check (vibration). Changed engine mounting (apparently there is a crack but I did not ask to see). Still there is some vibration in the steering ( seems more than usual) so went back for a check. Svc indicated the level is about...

Re: 2010 X5 Battery True. But wanted to see what PML has done to check the root cause! Thks

Re: 2010 X5 Battery A good question. Never thought to ask the question though. Hopefully PML will diagnose it? Will pop the ? when I get down there when car is readied. Thanks

Re: 2010 X5 Battery PML confirmed engine mount has some cracked unfortunately on my X5!. A little surprise as I don't drive the car in any harsh manner. Have never driven it to MY as well. Maybe the relatively poor road conditions (esp downtown where I travel most) has something to do with...

Re: 2010 X5 Battery Firstly somewhat I made a mistake in term of the workshops name i.e. it should be Euro Sport Service and not Autosport (which is a different w/shop which I saw close by to the Euro Sport Service)!! My apologies. Re vw's question. The replacement battery is a non AGM type...

Re: 2010 X5 Battery Tks. Managed to get it done at AutoSport AMK. Did not have time to check and make comparison. Pretty good svc. Prices though seems higher from one post recommendation. But cld be due to different battery make ( assumption only). Thanks for the help anyway. p.s. But like...

Re: 2010 X5 Battery

Re: 2010 X5 Battery Ok thanks. Will do

Hi there, anyone out there has any recommendation for battery change workshop for X5 model? Am keen to sus some price comparative before car being serviced by PML soon at which point I am thinking of a battery change as well. I figure PML price would be pretty stiff going by a recent change of...

Re: Good old question/debate again? Ranflat or normal tyres (say for 3 and 5 series) \\\\wld be great if care to share your experience when you have made the switch. Tks and cheers! QUOTE=detach8;1082418]My old Bridgestone RFTs tend to tramline quite a bit, same for Michelin RFTs (but...

Re: Good old question/debate again? Ranflat or normal tyres (say for 3 and 5 series) Hello there maybe I shouldn't have asked the tyre question! Got "punished" I think. One of our 2 BMers had a flat tyre signal lighted up yesterday. Found a nail in the left back tire. Car is 2 yrs odd with...

Hi guys, I have been reading again (US and Europe esp) re the debates about sticking with RF or switching to normal tyre for BMW cars. There seems to be a fairly even take and good arguments on either sides. One thing is obvious those and that is RR on the whole require higher maintenance...

Re: BMW F15 X5 first impressions Hi Wobbles! Thanks for your feedbacks. Appreciate it. Maybe I might just go down and give it a try when I can find the time!. Seen some trailers of the new XC90. If they keep most of what was the "concept car" it will look great. Maybe a good point to wait a...

Re: BMW F15 X5 first impressions Great write up of the new X5. Well it was actually more than just abt X5. Good sense of humour to boot ala Neil Humphrey which I do like!! Back to the car. I am driving an X5 right now ( xdrive 3.5i). I like the performance of the car but the biggest bugbear...

Re: X5 3rd Row + Boot Space Hi there , Have not owned an XC90 but did make some comparisons with those owned by friends. Overall XC 90 has much bigger overall boot capacity. I don't recall the exact dimension but it is certainly much bigger in the XC90(something in the range of 92 vs...

Re: Any X5 owners here? Re my earlier comment and input re changing to a "normal tire vs ranflat version "on my X5. Did not have time to update earlier. But I have finally decided to give it a try and make the change some 3 weeks back with same original size (255/55/18 ). As I was not so sure...
