Was planning on trading my Lexus for a used 03 or newer Carrera but my wife wants to keep the LExus since it's already paid- off. She will use my Lexus & will trade her PIlot instead but we can't have 2 cars w/ kids in the household so I need a sporty SUV. Will trade her 04 Pilot for either of the 2. BMW looks better but Porsche is a bit faster & seems to handle a tad bit better. Interior of Porsche is better but BMW is more roomier & is more family oriented. Price on both are the same. What do you folks think ?? |

| In the same boat, need suv to tow and for the winter, I'd lean towards Porsche for the same reasons you mentioned, but overall price to own is higher for porsche. | |
I have just received delivery of a 2007 X5 3.0 with the standard front seats & I find them uncomfortable..too hard especially after several miles I couldn't adjust them to feel comfortable for very long...my husband agrees with me...my daughter-in-law just got a 2007 328 coupe with the sport package & finds her seats much more comfortable...I don't have the sport package...I considered ordering the 20-way Multi-contour front seats but my 2002 X-5 we traded for my new one didn't seem so uncomfortable...my husband also traded his 2002 525 & it wasn't uncomfortable...I have been driving a 2004 Range Rover since last August & it certainly is not uncomfortable...How are the 20-Way contour seats...are they more comfortable?

Replying to: dianeg (Jul 03, 2007 8:54 am) I have the 20-way contour seats in my 7-series and they are extremely comfortable. Many ways you can conform it for your comfort. They are pretty amazing. From the test drive of the X5 sport package seats, I'd say those seats are comfortable, snug and hold you in place. They are different though than the 20-way contour seats..just depends on your needs. If I were you I'd try and change yours out and get one or the other as I felt the same as you on the standard seats. If cost were not an issue...I'd get the 20-way. |

Hi all. Has anyone out there ordered the new USB iPod port with their 2007 X5? I've had my X5 for two months now and love it. But, the iPod port doesn't work right. It switches to FM after playing for a few minutes. My local dealership has no answers so far. Has anyone else experienced this and knows a solution? Dianeg, I love my 20-way seats. My X5 was delayed because I wanted those seats, and they are worth it. I traded in a 2004 330xi with the regular seats- they weren't too bad, but my new seats are great! I'm new to this site and really like your discussions here! BTW, I have the 3.0si with premium, cold weather, tech, rear climate, heated rear seats, 20-way seats and comfort access. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!!

A friend of mine just got popped for a new $300 RUNFLAT tire on his 4 month old 2007 X5. He hit a nail and destroyed the tire. When it's time for new tires, MUST he use RUNFLATS or can he get something "normal" like a good set of Michelins?

Replying to: daryll44 (Jul 11, 2007 6:14 am) So, if you have a puncture, your only choice is a tow bill or a new tire.. Other than gaining the option of driving the car to a different location before changing the tire, I've yet to see the advantage to runflats. regards, kyfdx visiting host
