I bought the X5 35d. I used to have the 4.8L gas engine. I love it.
It performs almost as well and I get about 23/gallon compared to
15.5/gallon with more expensive premium gasoline.

How much will it tow? And, did you have to go to technical school for a
year to
learn how to operate it?

It will tow 6615#. It's an odd number but it's actually 3000 kilograms.
I only tow about half that much so it's easy to forget it's there.

The technology is more intuitive than the earlier models. This is the
third I have leased and it is simple compared to the other two. There
are so many options I haven't learned them all.


Say what?
It's simple, but you haven't been able to learn how to operate all the
options???
~~ Snerk ~~ I think it's the operator who is simple!
Don, you have NO idea what you're talking about. I said I haven't learned
them "yet". I am more than capable of learning and understanding them.

Can you send Google maps to your car? Can you set your car to start
recirculating air at a set time before you get in it? Can you set the
height the tailgate opens in auto mode? Can you program HD radio
stations? There is a LOT more it can do. The interface is just easier
than the old one. There are 5X more options.

BTW- "Say What?" still makes you "sound" dumb. Do you use that phrase
when you speak to people?


Of course not... I talk normal up here.
I just try to speak the local lingo when I converse with a foreigner. (that
would be you)
