Hi Everyone,

Just purchased my first BMW, and its an 12 plate X5 40D MSPORT, I love it!! Its done 71000 with a patchy service history, but seems to driving really well at present.

Is there anything I should be looking out for ? Should the above model have electric wing mirrors as they don't seem to be working?

Other than that, I'm hear to learn and get the most out of my vehicle

Cheers

Hi Mark

Welcome to the Forum

Nice car if the service history is patchy I would get a service done to give peace of mind, plus a Gearbox Service then enjoy.

You can check on BMW VinDecoder put the last 7 digits of your Vin in the search box and it will bring up the build sheet for your car, that will confirm if you have folding mirrors or not.If they are there they may need turning on via the diagnostic program or there is a fault it will show up. You will need a BMW specific program (BMW 1.4.0 , INPA/ISTA or similar) or a BMW Specialist (Cheaper than a Dealer)

Enjoy that BMW X5
