#59 of 64 X5 diesel in COLD weather by westindian Aug 07, 2009 (6:03 am)
Does anyone have any concerns/bad events with the diesels in cold weather? I ask this because I am interested in them but will be moving up to Green bay in November. Thanks Replies to this message: bigmclargehuge (Aug 07, 2009 6:56 am)

Replying to: westindian (Aug 07, 2009 6:03 am) My family have had diesels up in Syracuse for years. None of the post-Y2K diesels really had any trouble with them starting or running due to cold weather.   When I test-drove a 335d it was in single-digit weather. Ran like a champ.   By comparison, my Subaru with its turbo petrol engine was running like garbage that day.   I've owned both turbo gas/diesel and have found the diesels actually to be less finicky due to weather (or at least less noticable). Sure their peak torque will be down due to weather sometimes, but its still more torque than you can shake a stick at, so whatever performance loss is imperceptible, IMO.   The old International and Cummins (pre-1990) were hard to start without ether injection. That was the real down-side. Haven't had any problems in the last decade.
#61 of 64 4 Beeps by palmharbor Nov 16, 2009 (11:35 am)
Every so often, and not when I am doing anything in particular, I will hear four loud beeps, but the vehicle runs fine and there are no warning lights. Any ideas? Replies to this message: palmharbor (Nov 19, 2009 4:46 pm)
#62 of 64 How to lock glove compartment by palmharbor Nov 19, 2009 (4:44 pm)
Is it possible that there is no way to lock either the glove compartment or the center console in a 2009 BMW X5? I can't find an obvious lock, and the owners manual is silent. Replies to this message: sbonder (Nov 21, 2009 3:30 am)

Replying to: palmharbor (Nov 19, 2009 4:44 pm) if it is the same as my new 2010, then you are correct. there is a lockable compartment in the rear. you can lock stuff in there and then give the valet the remote without the key. odd.
