In Reply to: Wondering why my new X5 was sitting so high... posted by Datan on April 01, 2001 at 22:05:25:

them (I have the SP, also) and they were at 42 Psi. I picked up my X5 2/9/01--I think the dealers pump the pressure up for some reason. They should be at 32 Psi according to the manual (I think 39 in the rear w/ a full load).


Didn't have time till today to "play" in my X5 and after giving it it's first bath, I decided to also check the tire pressures - they were pumped to 50 psi! I have the SP and so didn't think too much about the firmer ride which was still very acceptable. Took it out for a short spin after lowering the pressures to manufacter's specs and it does have a more dampened, albeit still nicely firm ride. So...bring a pressure gauge when you pick up your new X5!!!

Also, was able to pinpoint a metallic rattle coming from the cargo area to the latch on the right rear seat. I noticed that it wasn't rattling with my daughter sitting there, so decided to try and fold the seat down - rattle disappeared! Will see what the dealer can do when I next bring the car in, unless one of you already has a solution.

This car is a joy to drive!

Smiles,

Dan
