[quote=""NewX5""][quote=""535dboy""]The new model, the old one was rubbish

I had the V8-I'm on phOne at min so not going to look for my review but feel free to search

Would imagine cayenne diesel is remappable as it is the audi engine which I know is possible.

Should bring it close to the 40d which is not remappable, unlike mine that is and is beyond the 40d outputs now[/quote]

The amount of posts you have would take me all day to find review please feel free to forward when you have time, personally though I think the interior has far too much going on compared to the X5. I would still go with new X5 any day I liked the previous turbo though but just could not look at vehicle, for me Porsche should stick to the 911 greatest car ever made.[/quote]

Audio : best idea is as already stated... Go listen to a couple. I've sprung for logic 7 in a 3 series and been unimpressed. This time round I went for the "business" in the x5 and think the sound is pretty good. Maybe my ears are getting worse....,,,,

It'll be allright in the end. If it isn't allright it isn't the end

I have the 'loudspeaker' system in mine which I believe was one up from the stanard, much better than the standard.

I think it's about £60k, but I have heard good things about it. Oh, and they at least have the coutesy to chuck in a well specced 40d to go with it !!

I Hear what your saying but after paying £60k+ on a motor, do you really wanna tear it apart to fit some components?

:poke:

Now i under stand what the towels are for, to dampen the sound of all the creaking panels you opened :P
