6,800 Miles on '09 35d Report

[dmfelger]

The vehicle is on it's third moonroof cassette; DVD Navi keeps asking to insert the DVD; the horn sounds like a lady blowing her nose (new horn on order); and now the power liftgate won't power lift up. Have an appt. tomorrow to check the DVD. Sales manager says his new X5 did the same thing and he had the DVD unit changed out. Works fine now.

First oil change done. I like the vehicle telling me when to change the oil and I received a phone call to make an appt.

Wish I could get XM instead of Sirius. Already have 3 XM radio's working, don't want another service.

Power, power, power. Love that turbo diesel music . Avg about 23 mpg around town if I keep my foot out of it. 21 mpg if I occasionally hammer it.

Seen my first 35d other than my own in Valencia today along with a mix of 10 other BMW's (X5 4.8, X6, 3 and 5's). Must have been a distributor or dealer having breakfast at the hotel.
