Is there anything out there that seats you as well as the BMW multi contour seats?

As for dealer experience, its like visiting a doctor here in Sweden. Takes forever to get to talk to someone. They look at you like you're bothering them and unless the engine light is on they say "oh, broken you say. Read that on the internet eh?", and then they take it in for a look a month later without fixing it.

I still have run with a cold engine, and despite the mechanics actually confirming the coolant system not working properly on my brand new car, they dont bother helping me anymore.

Get everything in writing and just keep driving based on their recommendation. Then when it all fails majorly, it's their problem to fix it.

Not that I have found, best seats by a long shot vs any of the SUV's I tested. Now I didn't test drive the Denali trim Cadillac/Chevy/GMC's.

Drive a modern 4x4 truck, they are WAY more quiet. Hell my early 70's Mustang at least insulated the spare tire recess, the X5 is bare metal.

Me to - 22K miles and no rattles or issues. The stock all season tires are wearing very well, I should get 35K out of them, although they are noisier than when new - still OK

I am averaging 26.5 MPG on the diesel. I lost 1.0 mpg after the latest software update.
