Thanks, that's what I needed to hear. When they told me "It's fine, that's how it's supposed to work", I was pretty floored. So we'll take it back in and have them figure it out.

Thank you.

Played with those settings in iDrive multiple times. Interesting to find out both fans are in the front dash, but the front does push more air when the rear fan is turned up higher. So not just...

She doesn't use the key. The first time it was in her purse and it got locked in the trunk when the liftgate closed on the purse strap and confused the computer is my guess. The second time she put...

Ok, 38 views and no takers. Does everyone's work the way I've described it, or does yours work the way I'm expecting it to. It's easy to test. Turn on the AC and put the fan on level two or three,...

Ok, just spent some time in the garage trying to recreate it. Locking in the trunk I think was a fluke. I remember her purse handle was caught in the liftgate, so I think it closed enough to latch,...

Got me, both times it happened, it's been the wife. All I can confirm is when I pulled up, the doors wouldn't open and I could see her purse inside with the keys in it. I'd get my keys out and unlock...

Front / Rear A/C control separation

Ok, I've searched around for the answer on this, read the manual a bazillion times, even took it to the BMW dealer (we'll get to that in a minute).

So here's the issue. I have tried every...

I hear you. I went out to play with it a bit more. My laptop bag sets it off, gymbag, etc. My wife's purse however, is just light enough to not set it off. Luckily, it's her car, so I don't have to...

Yeah, roughly 8 to 8.5 pounds for a gallon.

FirstBMW, if you lay the gallon down on its side in the seat with the handle in the crack it doesn't slide around like it does on the floor in the back...

People actually put infant seats in the front seat of an X5. Gotta wonder who thinks that's a good idea somehow.

Do you have the 3.0i or 4.8i? I read in another thread here that only the V8s came with the flashlight. However, it's an old post so I don't know whether it's still true.

I agree with you AzNMpower32. Too much coddling for my taste. That's why I'm sticking with my Power Wagon. <grin>

Well, that didn't take long

So we bought the X5 on Monday, she backed into a post on Thursday morning. Hardly worth taking a picture of, but it's got a very tiny dent in the bumper.

I asked her how that was possible. She's...

Heheh.. I didn't even pay any attention to that. It almost looks like an SD card would fit in there. I'll have to look at it when I get home. I still haven't finished reading the manual. <grin>

While I'm not too concerned about gas prices, I will admit to being a bit disappointed in the gas mileage of the X5. I've got a fullsized 2005 Dodge Power Wagon with a 5.7L HEMI that gets 14.5 city...
