    Get positive reviews on the G05 forums. There's been a few issues with the hybrid drive and batteries, this should be ironed out soon.

    Yeah the whole box is replaced only takes a little while. They kept fobbing me off that the server was playing up but it wasn't. As the 3G network is being turned off it would only connect and upload data sporadically when it had service. This means the app was hardly ever up to dated and as you...

    Sounds like the issues I had when the 3G sim version. The 4G one I have now is bang on all the time. Don't let them fob you off it's not fit for purpose and they can't track your car if you can see it, they tried all that with me.

    No I bought the car at six months old so it was already fitted. If I had the choice I wouldn't want the fob one though as it takes the ability away from using the phone on its own. I wouldn't even have the tracker if I had a choice but it's needed to reduce the insurance cost. My last car was...

    I have the one without the fob fitted to my car. Dropped my insurance by £700 and was fitted by the dealer from new. I was the first registered tracker user and it never worked properly. Would sometimes be a day or so behind reporting my location or would stop mid journey only to update and...

    Is the mild hybrid 48v battery used to start the car then? I never though about that really.

    It wont fully charge from driving alone. You need to put the car on a proper charger to maintain the battery properly. I charge mine up twice a year and its suprising how long it takes to fully charge the battery even on a dedicated charger. This is the reason people think batteries only last...

    Must have options are sky lounge, Adaptive lights, comfort pack and technology plus pack, Comfort plus pack is nice but not a deal breaker. Don't be put off by 22"wheels they are non runflat and coming from the X3 M40i the ride was a bit soft if anything, I'm running mine slightly over pressure...

    My radio stays on if I open the door before turning the engine off. If the engine off is first then it turns off when the door opens.

    Nov stats for my X5M50i are ave. 18.2 mpg from 76 trips over 472 miles (21hrs of driving), my X3M40i was around 21 over the same journeys.

    Best way to pay for an expensive car.

    Section 75 cover is based on the invoice amount not what you pay on the credit card. If the invoice is over £30k then section 75 doesn't count.

    No it was in the X3. The battery has a life limit on it which I think is four years. Mine didn't actually fail but popped a message up about requiring replacement due to life. They replaced it and claimed on the warranty. If it the same one its the battery in a module located under the...

    Mine was replaced under extended warranty while the car was in for a service. Might be worth trying another garage.

    Used to be £35 a year. Certainly on the E61 and on the F11 as well from memory.
