Newbie.... Threading lightly

[Black]

hey guys,

For the last 20 odd years, I've driven Mercedes, and yes, I still think Mercedes is an amazing car. :cartel: However.............fate & i guess the universe directed me towards buying a BMW. So, I'm now the owner of a beautiful X5 3l diesel. I must say, the car is impressive. That said, only time will tell whether or not I've been denying myself excellence, or whether i'll go back to Mercedes.

Hopefully, I'll find a few pointers and tips on this forum. I mean, I might need a bit of advice on how to manage the switch over. Will I need to:
leave earlier than usual to get to my destinations on time? :thumbdo:
carry tools in the car? :skit:
join the AA?
learn to hitch hike? :coolShake:
wear a seat belt? :RedNo:

I guess I've started off on the wrong foot here :roflol:
Let me try again.

hey guys

newbie to the wonderful world of BMW owners. I look forward meeting new friends and to many enjoyable hours of driving bliss.

Properly maintain and service it , Do a bit of preventative maintenance , and the car will look after you .
Having AA is nice , I have it , As it covers you as a person and not your car. I use it when ever im with friends and we have car issues . "locking keys in the car "

Good luck and welcome

Welcome, bud.

Preventative maintenance ftw. Be weary of the rear air suspension.
