Got my x5 today...

[Franklin Joseph]

Hi
picked up my 2003 Imola Red 4.6is. First impression was wow...wife was very happy. Interior is clean and very comfy. Loved the Nav (never used it before). Will take pictures this weekend when its bright. Wife drove it just now and she LOVES it.

Now a few questions:

1) There is a very slight whine from the engine compartment...not sure what. Any ideas? I have CPO, can i just bring it in to the dealer for a check up?

2) Not sure what NAV i have....but is there any way to update the CD? I cant see my house on the MAP (new development - 1.5 years old)

3) Speakers suck....guess i'll have to plan on upgrading.

4) Exhaust - too quiet. I might do the resonator delete soon

5) Intake - will be my xmas pressie...hehe

6) Handling - not to my liking...steering is kinda loose (as in turning ratio). I guess i might look into getting the lowering endlinks and lowering front springs. Any other tips to tighten up the steering response? Will the Dinan Camber plates help?

7) Oil Filter Housing - is it upfront on the driver side with the 36mm on it?

8) Exhaust tips - any tips on polishing this? its abit black

9) NAV - might be a stupid question....but if i put a movie in, will it play the movie?

thanks a bunch. Cant wait to drive it more tomorrow...car already got some looks when the wife was driving.

thanks
