X5 Comfort Issue

DARE U · 05-14-2011, 09:43 PM

Does anyone that own a X5 realized that, it is not comfortable at all when riding at the back of a X5 and sometimes it will make the passengers "road sick"?

Some more, it is very bumpy if compared to X3 or X6?? I did bring this issue to my dealer and they let me test drive others units, they all the same feels...Any ideas to over come this problems??

Just done km 6000 on holiday with grown up passengers in the back they all loved the ride - maybe your roads are crap !

My rears are super comfortable, tons of room? Get some tougher passangers?

Could it be the way you drive and not the actual handling of the car?

Do u have sports suspension, lower profile tires or runflat tyres? If u have any of these u will have a harsher ride especially on rougher roads.

My old 4.8i w/ 20" wheels and sport suspension was very loud, crude and jarring to drive in. The new 12 50i ALSO w/ 20" tires and NO sport suspension is FANTASTIC! Yes, its a bit more bouncy and sloppy around the bends but it finally feels like a luxury SUV/SAV. I never thought that of the old 4.8.

Your 2010 has the same tech as my old 2008. If you have sport, this may explain some things.
