Finally bought the X
 

Hi all,

Finally i went ahead and bought an X5 4.8is :thumbup:, Honestly i never liked SUV's and was seriously thinking of going with a 335i or a cpo m3, however "family" needs require me now to not think about coupes anymore and wow what a difference between 4.8is and GX/MDX/ML i was considering, it amazes me though how much grip this thing has i did'nt feel like am driving an suv (except for high seating), also :-) it is faster than my old Mitsu Eclipse

Thanks to the vast amount of info in this forrum i was able to change NAV to perspective mode, now the manual tells me the Phone activation symbol if pressed for long activates voice control however nothing happens in my case, not sure if something is wrong any help is appreciated
i will continue searching for answers.

Thanks all for making this website i absolutely loved the hidden features threads.

Welcome to the club. Nice choice on the 4.8. You should be very happy.

Welcome to the forum!

What year is your X? I think in 2004 models I read somewhere that bluetooth is not enabled and also you would need a voice recognition module.

Thanks guys, I am loving it so far, it drives amazin, in fact i had one of my neighbour come over and ask me what kind of engine was that since the growl at startup sounds amazing specially in enclosed parking.

Twinspoppa - It's a 2005 model andi do see message saying connect phone when i press R/T

Pics added not too great will take more later

Nice :thumbup:

Nice 4.8!
