Any BMW X3 experts/owners out there?

Tyre specifications are important on a BMW when it is still under warranty. Unless the tyres are * marked BMW will consider it a modification to the original spec and will use that as a way out of warranty claims. Most insurers are happy about non runflats provided they are the same spec size and speed rating, If you haven't got TPM or a gunk kit its your problem it doesn't affect your insurance!

Didn’t have a problem when i changed my MV3 alloys for 3rd party 19” alloys with non-runflat tyres. All warranty work still approved.

You obviously didn't have a problem with your x drive  then !

I have no x-drive i only have RWD. Front wheels for steering, rear wheels for pushing

Well if you knew anything about Xdrive you'd know how important * rated tyres were and not messing with crappy after market alloys and tyres!.

Loving this so far. At the moment I'm looking like I should be able to get 550 miles at least out of a tank so mpg is not too bad. That looks like high 20s to me and not too different to the Qashqai.

The only thing that is annoying to me is Idrive. It is rubbish with my S9 on google play music. Could other users please confirm what phone and app they are using for streaming and how much success they are getting. Spent a while researching and see android is not that great but can't find much on google play music so open to changing the app.

I'm using Tidal on my android Honor phone and pro nav without issue. Spotify is supported by idrive and has its own idrive app.

I did read about spotify so was thinking of using that. I have a iphone 5s that I could use by just plugging in and leaving in X3 if it doesn't work on my S9

Funny you say that I have a s9  and the past week or so it’s been playing up.such as the song that is playing does not correspond with what’s on the idrive screen and skipping songs takes about 5-10 seconds.it all started after I loaded some more songs onto my phone last week I thought maybe I have to many songs on the phone and I was struggling sorting through them.
Oh forgot to add 2017 320d estate just in case that info makes any difference
