pkimM3r · 10-02-2013, 11:08 AM

I saw a sync button on the clinate control! Apparently entry level doesnt warrant this luxury option.

The new X5 keyfob looks nice!

wzj519 · 10-02-2013, 01:36 PM

Definitely lots of cool functions, but I just can not get pass of the rear looking.

ybd2 · 10-02-2013, 01:40 PM

Cool, thank you.

ckortane · 10-02-2013, 03:33 PM

It feels great in hand too. Nice heft to it, with real metal. Love how thin it is compared to the current bulky keyfobs.

Did everybody notice the cross traffic detection integrated in the front and backup cameras? it's in the "BMW Panoramic Front Camera" video. I think this is the first time this is available in BMW... at least to my knowledge! (including the front camera as well)

I've driven some cars with that feature and it's really useful when backing out of a parking with big vehicles parked next to yours blocking your visibility to the sides... it's like a blind spot monitor for reversing

penny_hardaway · 10-03-2013, 03:47 AM

what is the purpose for the lock button which is located on the tailgate? next to the tailgate closing button?

Patarix · 10-03-2013, 06:14 AM

Hello Jason, thanks for sharing, great info!

The trunk button closes the trunk. The lock button closes the trunk AND locks the car.

I use the trunk button when loading the car while people are getting in...versus using the lock button when I am unloading the car and people are getting out.

penny_hardaway · 10-04-2013, 02:29 AM

it is very useful videos for all functions if equipped for the new X5...
Sometimes the salesmen don't know all functions as well as they are not only selling X5....

FR01 · 10-10-2013, 01:40 AM

Holy sliding sun visors...did that really need posting?

Rest were good.
