A couple questions from a new X owner
Hello all. I've been reading here on Xoutpost for a few weeks and have owned my X5 for only about 2 weeks. I just have a few questions for anyone to answer for me.
The Car: I picked up a 2004 X5 4.4 Black/Tan with Cold weather pack and a Pano sunroof with 103000 miles. So far I love it. It's much nicer and faster than my previous 2000 Honda Cr-V, and also a lot worse on gas. But, oh well.
Getting to the questions: I must admit, after reading on here I am a bit nervous about the X. Seems like they tend to have a few issues to say the least. I'm sure I'll get answers like, "just search for it", but I'm asking these basically because I'm not entirely sure what to actually search for. My X only came with a Radio manual, Map book of BMW dealerships, and a few other things. No regular owners manual though.
1) Does anyone have any pics of a fully open Pano roof? Mine opens fine, as far as I know, (had to reinitialize a few days ago) but I haven't noticed the back portion tilting up or sliding back. I went to the car wash two days ago and I had a few drips on the glass dripping onto my seat.
2) I seem to have a coolant leak going on. Today is the first day the "Check Coolant level" warning came on, but I've noticed it for about a week now. At first I thought it was only due to being parked at an angle in my driveway. I didn't notice anything on the level surface of my garage floor. It's coming from the front of the engine. Does this dreaded "Blue Smoke" issue have coolant issues associated with it?
3) The last 7 of my VIN are LV08981. Can someone get the list of options my car has? Or tell me where to get it? Such as, bluetooth, I have a microphone, and talking symbol on the steering wheel, but can't seem to get anything to pair.
Thanks in advance. I'm sure I'll come up with more questions. I have to figure out how to edit my pictures before I can upload them.
