You're probably talking about the throttle lag - see if it goes away in DS mode. Been noticeable on my last two BMWs, assume it's a "feature" designed to improve MPG.

For what? When I made a dispute, they gave the seller 20 days - no response, and I would win by default.

No response from seller is a lot better than, "This buyer is crazy, I shipped it out - here's a fake UPS report and everything!" You win by default once their time allowance is up.

How much of a premium did it take to get those non-standard options? And I assume they required a non-refundable deposit of some sort? I'm always curious how these things work.

You bought a used Range Rover - any of us buying a new X5 could easily afford a used RR instead (and most here could afford a new one). You only could afford it for 4 months, obviously didn't get...

Windshield wiper relay click?

Yesterday, I noticed that a "click" is coming from the glovebox area when the windshield wipers activate - one right before, and one right after each swing of the arms. Repeatable, only for front...

I'm at 3500 miles, and have yet to notice this smell. Enclosed garage, I must either be getting lucky with burnoff occurring on the road, or just am not sensitive enough.

Uninsured motorist coverage kicks in - happened to me, was a 500 deductible. My insurance went after the other guy for the deductible, got it after 2 years.

Bummer, hope the repairs go well.

Effective 1500 increase for the 35d (1% increase in MSRP, 1000 decrease in Eco), wonder how that will affect sales, if at all.

What kind of opener do you guys have?

I'm using a Craftsman w/rotating codes in a residential neighborhood - our Acura could hit it 100 feet away, the BMWs normally have to be in the driveway.

Completely agree - this was a problem with my 530i, and there's been no improvement on the 2011 X5. Just plain sucks, I have to be within about 20 feet.
