  1. Welcome Chris, glad to hear you are enjoying your Beemer, enjoy the forum.
  2. Hi Jay, things you also need to think about is what gives better residual value, when you want to sell at a later date, as for the swirl flaps, they sell cheap kits to overcome the problem without affecting the engine, I had a 316 Ti 1.6 (1800 cc) compact and got roughly 40 mpg, country and town driving. I would buy a car with leather interior, and plenty of gadgets as normally will sell better and hold it's price better, sites like MOTOR and Parkers, will search for cars for you for free, good luck.
  3. Look forward to seeing some pics Pete. Regards Alan
  4. Welcome James, Enjoy the forum, I would have written to BMW, to see if a recall had been done on the early X5 diffs, hopefully someone on here will have advice for you, good luck.
