New Owner of a 2011 X5 50 - some questions
Hello,
After much deliberation, I sold my 2006 X5 4.8is, and purchased a 2011 X5 50 with just 13,500 miles. It is very well optioned, and in mint condition , and met my mandatory requirements of black saphire / black interior, with the 20 inch staggered wheel option. I purchased it in Atlanta from a Land Rover dealership and had a very enjoyable ride home to NYC in my new ride. Just a few questions, and I apologize in advance if they are newb. 1) The original RFT tires with now almost 15K miles will be replaced. I want to go with a non RFT, and am thinking of the Continental DWS. I do need all season tires. ANy thoughts on this tire? THe MIchelin Latitude is more expensive, but I haven't seen anything saying they are better than the DWS. Appreciate your thoughts. 2) Since I am going with non RFT tires, I want to purchase a space saver spare. Two things, where can I purchase the whole kit (jack, tools, wheel / tire)? Also, the storage area under the cargo floor where the space saver will go, is carpetted. How is the space saver clamped down so that it doesn't move / rattle? 3) I got the keys, remotes, manuals with the X5. However, I would love to have the window sticker that came with the car when new. Is there some place that would have this if I provided my vin? I know the car was delivered new to its original owner in Atlanta. 4) On rough roads, there is a very slight rubbing noise coming from the hatch area. It really is not very noticeable, but is it a common problem that I can locate and put some felt on? 5) FM radio reception seems a bit weak. Is this a common issue? 6) Finally, I am willing to travel for excellent dealership service. ANy recommendations for the top service BMW dealership in the NYC, LI, NJ, CT area? Many thanks. I love this X5 and appreciate all comments. ![]() Bruce |
