How difficult would it be to have the TPMS give a quantitative measurement of tire pressure? With the current system, it's difficult to tell from the alert whether it's just a low pressure situation...

I'll give the key memory a try. I should probably just RTFM but I don't drive the car enough for it to bother me. My wife likes using the HUD so that's what matters the most. Even when I have the...

You know, I tried that but the seat memory wouldn't memorize my settings. I stopped adjusting the HUD position after my wife got tired of adjusting it back to hers.

By the way, if you're much taller than your wife then one of you won't be using it.

Thanks for the tip on restarting the warranty. This problem hasn't affected me as much because my wife drives the X5, but it has made her more nervous (it doesn't help that she's pregnant too). I...

No, the oil pressure warning light came on right after this happened, never before. The service rep says he'll give me more details tomorrow, so I'll ask him what happened to the connecting rod.

Contacted the dealership today and the service rep said a connecting rod punctured the engine, so the engine will be replaced. I didn't ask him what might've caused that to happen, but this...

Wife took it to the dealership and they topped it off, but there's no written record of it.

Engine crapped out today.

Have a 4.8i. I was going full throttle on a steep uphill and I suddenly hear/feel this crackling and crunching sound from the engine bay. Then it begins to smoke and I hear fluid rushing out. ...

If anything, other cars should be defending against the X5. The molding on our doors really stick out, almost like a barb, and can probably puncture metal. Not that I've done anything like...

Based on how they drive, it is surprising that the Q7 4.2 weighs less than the X5 4.8i . At the Audi Driving Experience, my wife was really turned off by the Q7's body roll through the slalom...

The Q7 V12 TDI is tempting, but it's a beast in terms of curb weight. I know my wife would still choose the 4.8i over the Q7 V12, and since I don't wear the pants...

By the way, nice to see...

This is so BS. The X5 is not going to fishtail because of a stiffer sway bar, especially one designed for the X5. If anything, those 55 got the better end of the deal.

A higher octane than 91 isn't necessary and won't hurt or benefit the X5. If anything, higher octane gas actually releases less energy. However, an octane lower than 91 could result in detonation,...

We did consider the 535xi wagon before buying the X5, but the exchange rate/pricing makes the X5 a much better buy. Plus, my wife was tired of her wagon.

We love our Audis too but unfortunately Audi doesn't offer in the US a family hauler that performs, so we made the switch to BMW. So far, we've been very pleased.
