If the sidewall is okay, then you can repair a puncture. The difference really isn't in the run-flat part... It's in the no spare tire part. If your run-flat tire is flat, you don't have the option of putting the spare on. It's either a tow bill, or a new tire. Actually, assuming that a run-flat tire would ride and handle just like a gets-flat-tire, then I'd love to have them.... as long as I still had a spare. That would be the best of all worlds... a CHOICE!! regards, kyfdx

My new X5 4.8 picks up my new cell phone with the bluetooth but it doesn't pick up the telephone numbers in my phonebook so I have to voice dial after fumbling through looking for the numbers. By the way, the cell phone is a brand new LG Trax, which just came out. Any suggestions on how to download the telephone numbers? thanks

Replying to: kabbalah (Aug 04, 2007 12:55 pm) Try asking here: Bluetooth Technology If no luck there, try here: Bluetooth and the 3-Series Even though that one is 3-series specific, they might be able to give you some BMW-related tips. regards, kyfdx visiting host |

While shopping for a new 2007 X-5, a pre-owned salesperson got my ear about the earlier models, '04-'06. He was tauting how much better they were. Any opinions on the older ('06) model vs the newer '07 X-5? Thank you

Replying to: harry28 (Sep 10, 2007 5:26 pm) The old X5 was a nice vehicle (I had 4 of them). But I would not choose one over the new X5 unless I was looking for a bargain basement price. These forums have hundreds of posts on the improvements in the new X5 over the old model. It would be worth a look at the older posts if you're considering a purchase. |
