New 2011 x5d Owner -
hey folks, we just picked one up w 37k miles, its not loaded to the teeth, but has what we needed (3rd row, Nav etc) - I need some help adding backup camera, maybe front too - and the Nav is not pulling some addresses that my 2008 3 series does, is there a work around for these -
first impressions, great mileage but kinda sluggish 0 - 40 ... which was expected, we love this tank though Have a great day everyone |

A little analogy: The diesel will have pretty much same (some may say low) acceleration pretty much regardless if it is empty or with a boat attached in the back. Like a sumo wrestler. High horsepower vehicle will accelerate faster but its acceleration is greatly affected by environment (headwind, incline, or a boat in the back). Like a ninja. Then there's an X5M. High horsepower/high torque beast. A ninja sumo wrestler. P.S. I find the 6-speed transmission in my diesel does not want to upshift early enough, resulting in RPM often going beyond 2500, especially when from standstill. Is that because it was originally designed for gas engines? I don't know. What I often do is force the transmission to upshift. For example, from stop, accelerate normally, and before RPM hits 2000, quickly put into Manual mode, upshift, put back to D. Takes a split second to do all that, but make the ride way more enjoyable, as the vehicle rides the useful torque curve (1700 - 2000 RPM). |
