Saw the x7 on the road a couple weeks ago. The kidney grills

I like it

Installed a android headunit in my wife's X5 for mother's day last week. Her old unit could only stream bluetooth calls, but not music

How would this intergrate with the idrive

All physical controls work (steering buttons, dial, skip, etc) and if you hold down the menu button it'll take you to the og display/OS which is still fully functional.

This is the one in our X5

I have a Dynavin unit in my E39 that I actually prefer over my wife's x5. 'm not totally sold on the android OS. It's not bad, but my Dynavin is a bit more stable.

Both can also play videos while you drive

What year is her X5? How have the repair bills been? I’m debating finally getting an X5 but my wife thinks it’s gonna be impractical from an upkeep perspective

Her's is a 2008 with around 125k on it. No serious issues outside of a fuel pump failure while we were out one night last year. We recently replaced a few front end bushings and a bad coil recently, but i think that's to be expected on an suv at around this mileage. I can't really comment on the cost as i have a friend that owns a bmw repair shop. The interior is holding up well and the body style still has a few years left of looking current imo.

Thanks for sharing. I’d buy a certified one I think anyways, or used but nothing older than 2015 probably.

This is the Dynavin unit i installed in my e39. Despite not having the AppleCar function, i would still highly recommend getting it over the android unit like i installed in my wife's x5 if given the option. The OS and overall functionality / bt stability is just way better.

I don't blame you. It's probably one of the best bimmers ever made. Mine is just a 528 with factory m-sport kit and a few other goodies, but it's all around the best car i've ever owned.

How’s maintenance on a 2015 328i compared to a 2015 C300?

+2. The new X7 is off the chain!

It's easier to find independent BMW repair shops than it is for Benz's, in the bay area at least.

Thinking about getting rid of my 5 for 2018 E Class. Dealer here is scrambling to get them off the lot

Thoughts on a 330i wagon?

 

[Lord_nikon]
