My brakes squeak a lot on the abnormally cold days. Relatively silent otherwise. See if it happens when it warms up.

Same tech - a single, automated clutch, as with the Lambo E-gear. Not to be confused with double clutch transmissions.

Is it the color of rust or actually yellow? If it's the former, it's most likely rail dust. Almost inevitable if the vehicle is shipped by rail.

Press and hold the button for a little longer when you hit it - everything shuts off. It'll save you from a second press.

I wouldn't doubt it, the FX are lighter then our X5s with similar amounts of power. The 45 I had was quick... maybe even quicker than the 4.8 below 60mph.
