Hello everyone. Thanks for the welcomes and advice for my new X. I'm absolutely loving it - the luxury, the noise and the pace. It ticks all the boxes for me, that's for sure.

Sorry for the lack of photos, i hope to have some up tomorrow. I've just had it tinted everywhere by 3M... the sides and back 30% (max legal for Dubai), sunroof 80% and the front transparant. Although the front is transparent, it still blocks out 40% heat i'm told... which is essential when temperatures hit over 50C in the summer. Temp is around 40C here now and without the tints it's been bloody uncomfortable.

The car is a mess at the moment, needs a proper clean and the windows are covered in smears from the solution they use when they tinted it. Once clean and sparkling I'll get some photos up.

I'm taking the car back the dealer tomorrow to have a couple of issues looked at - the power folding mirrors fold, but don't stay folded... they just pop back out each time. There is also a fault with the tire pressure sensor which i've asked them to look at.

Oh, and i've looked into the extended warranty - they want another 5000 dhs (about $1400) for two years instead of one. I'm going to risk it. I'll be following all the regular maintenance schedule requirements, and some. Here, and to comply with the warranty requirements i have to service is every 5000km - yes, really!

Cheers,
Andy
