Any BMW X3 experts/owners out there?

8 litres of FST engine oil, fat rear tyres, 35MPG, etc

I think I have more research to do

Yes, all of the above. But mine is 11 years old and designed without a second thought for the environment..
Tyres are about £220 a corner too (I've just discovered)...
About 31mpg, highest tax price insurance is cruel for a 41 year old with a clean licence etc..
Definitely do your research before laying down the cash but if your do, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

£220?

You must be buying the runflats?

I just paid £258 for a rear set of Goodyear Eagle3s in 255/30/19.

D5 XC60 is plenty powerful. And you could always look at getting it remapped...

£220 for one tyre though. Crikey

Pirelli P Zero Rosso Asimmetrico * Bmw Fitment - 255-40-19-W - etyres

Has to be the STAR rated one's all round otherwise it screws the auto transmission. These are the ones that are on it..

Hmmmm, more likely the xdrive?

Think i’ve the same autobox as you, the ZF unit?

shodan

Yes the X Drive, dunno about the name of the box though, it's 6 speed....

mjn

On the M57 engine of 2007 vintage? I’m 99% certain it’s the ZF box. If you fancy some better / faster / smoother changes, check out the XHP software.

Did I mention I had it remapped...? Not done a rolling road but it is flipping rediculous..
