:iagree:

Its apparently a rear sensor but it keeps comming up with "inactive, contact dealer". Because my car is an m sport the rear bumper is colour coded so apparently this means it needs painting.

Dirty pics of my 30d m sport

This pathetic smattering of snow grinds the UK to a halt. Good job I put on our snow rims and tucked the 20s away till next year.

Fuel consumption. Another observation vs E53

We now have 1100 miles on our 30d m sport and to be honest I feel slightly mislead by BMW. The suggestion is that the new gen X5s are a)cleaner (cant dispute that as I have no way of measuring) b)...

Dissapointed with fuel consumption at motorway speeds.

Our 30d m sport delivers around 34 mpg at a steady 55-60mph but at a steady 80mph this drops to 29mpg, our old e53 at a steady 80 would deliver 32 and an overal 26mpg including round town driving. ...
