Not sure about recalibration, but FWIW, my E90 consistently indicated 10% over the real speed, my E70 seems to be more like 8% (sounds similar to yours). I can't believe that this is not a...

I have the 'd', so I can't help with actual comparisons. But I bet the next questions someone that is in the know will ask is how many miles are on the car? They seem to consume more gas at the...

Richard is right indeed - I would just add one feature that the USB in the glove compartment adds as well, and which is nice: It is powered, so whatever is connected there can be charged - great for...

Excellent write-up! Having chosen an x5d I am just as biased as SJC Flyer, but I do think it's the better choice. I think many of the items that cost more money don't necessarily add to the thrill...

I'm expecting my 3.5d in a couple of weeks, but I thought I'd check on the insurance costs because of this thread. Yup - same as most of you, it'll be about $80/year lower than for my current '06 E90...
