I just picked up my new X5 earlier today (3.0si, Jet Black, Black Nevada, Tech/Premium/Sport Packages, Side Shades, USB Audio, Comfort Seats). Thanks for everybody's help in trying to understand the car's features before I took delivery.
I've put 75km so far on the 'ute. I'm lovin' it so far
with one caveat: From the minute I drove it off the dealer's lot, there's been a noticeable 'squeak' from the front brakes when stopping at low speeds. Is this part of the normal break-in?
A few other comments:
1] They still haven't fixed the perspective view on the nav to include the street names. Frustrating.
2] The adjustable headrests on the '08 Comfort Seats aren't quite as comfortable as the '07's. . .but the seats are still really good.
3] Runflats are a touch noisy on the highway.
4] I already miss the auto-tailgate function (not available in Canada).
Again, overall I love the car so far and I'm uber-finicky. I'm curious about others' experiences with squeaky brakes at the outset.
Pics to follow soon.
