Question on cornering somewhat sharply

[peacemf]

Have a few issues with x5, but most were found by doing a search
just need to go to the bmw garage to get the rear wiper fixed (no fluid coming out!)

Also how is cornering for you guys, on motorways its all lovee dovee but when you are turning from say a cross section the x5 tends to bank to a side, which is normal yes but im just wondering whats the limit before it tips!

Also any advice on parking and moving around crapped spaces/car parks....
sometimes its a complete nightware!

Also you know when you start the car in the morning, does your gear seems sticky when changing from P to anything else......after a few minutes its easy to change gears, its just when you do it for the first time in the morning, is that normal?

thanks

What kind of tires are you running and what kind of cornering are you doing? You'll get better cornering running wider, lower profile tires than the standard set up.

After driving SUVs/SAVs for many years I'll say the X is far superior to any other on the road in handling and cornering capabilities. Just never forget, it's not a car. Keep that shiny side up and welcome to X5 World.

check your tire pressure. i run mine about 10% above factory recommendations.

also the DSC should kick in and/or you would slide before you tip unless you're doing something completely wild.

It also depends on if you have sport package or not.. Suspension is different...And of course tire size and rim size..
