TBH, a lot of re-maps can give better fuel economy - even with that bit extra power! Engines come off the production line in a, generally, standard setup... Therefore you shouldn't worry too much as long as you don't go over the top with it... If you do then you will find that you need to change many other components to cope with the extra stresses involved... For example, If you bang in more fuel/air into the cylinders, the engine will need to get rid of the product VERY quickly to make way for the next burn !!!

      New Owner Thoughts – 320d 2l M Sport Touring Xdrive 2019

      I couldn't agree more just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. Laptops are a prime example, give me than two sodding ports!! I don't live in that dreamland where everything works flawlessly over WiFi, I'm barely on dial up speeds here! Also what is with that dreadful piano black trim? Scratches the instant you look at it, and in my opinion I think it will date really badly. All new cars seem to have it, especally the EV's. Is it cheap to produce? Still trying to learn how to use the reverse camera😁... and failing!

      Drive shaft making a weird sound

      Morning Paul A wheel bearing normally protests under load when driving (groaning rumbling worse when cornering) CV Joint clicking sound, have you checked the condition of the CV Boots ? As an X5 pilot what condition are the tyres ? Have any or all been changed recently ? If the tyres (even 1) are out of spec Transfer case damage or diff damage can be caused (gives similar symptoms to those you seem to have Dave

      Drive shaft making a weird sound

      I noticed that when i put my x5 in full lock, lets say towards the left and i drive it makes a clunking judder sound. When i straighten up that sound is no longer there. Can anyone tell me how can i check to see if it is the front drive bearing or the CV joint bearing? Thank you Car spec. X5 E53, 54 plate
