Re: M Sport vs SE suspension

I've 19 RFTs with M sport. When on my own i enjoy it with no problem apart from a few broken surfaces on rural roads when i feel the car is driving me rather than me driving it. My wife does moan sometimes on hard broken surfaces(bear in mind she is pregnant), otherwise for fun part I love it.

Re: Another good looking one...

I like the bullbar. i thought it was banned because, in an accident if you were to hit any pedestrians then it might do more damage. I could be wrong. Does anyone know anything about it. If there is no rule then I might go about fitting one.

Re: would you like more MPG on the E70

So we can write to BMW for their wrongly publicised numbers perhaps. As avatar was saying mileage apart from it being BMW is the only thing that tipped me to buy it.

Re: would you like more MPG on the E70

Looks like we need to start a thread with people who get less than 30mpg avg on their x5 diesels.
