The feature was disabled due to the amount of processing power it took. People without the "feedback" will notice that the iDrive operates faster.

No - when you put the HUD on, the pop up arrows don't come up on the iDrive. It's the same in my new LCI E60 aswell, and there has been a discussion on E60.net. Conclusion - No :)

CC with brake is a great improvement, regardless of ACC. I find the cruise control much more usable now. Yes of course you can just "hit the brake", but you can also just "keep your foot on the...

xnsf, that is correct. This "brake function" is now standard on all new BMWs with cruise control. It is _not_ radar assisted active cruise control.

In the "old" cars, if you had cruise control...

Same here ... think about what type of vehicle you are buying. It's a BIG X5. Not a 6 series. We got the X5 because we have three kids. I would never buy a car like this for just a single adult...

Lol :) Thanks, me too. Love the car, and great to have it back, but one more major fault and it's legal/refund time - just can't expect to have a car like that without having 100% confidence. ...

Ok well the garage just called. They replaced the injector pump, and the car still won't start. They have "mailed Germany for some help". So we are still X5less.
