Does anyone know what self-levelling suspension means? Air suspension?

[mudy]

Ooo, that's exciting thank you I'll check I have the enhanced cradle on Thursday when I pick the beast up!

[mudy]

Thanks for taking the time osinjak - I've emailed the surprisingly on it parts guy at Dick Lovett with your description so hopefully all will become clear!

[mudy]

Oh well - looks like I'll have to rely in the aux cable and the iPhone screen for playlists etc. but will report back - thank osi

hi - mine as stated above is an Oct 09 build registered in jan 10 so no enhanced bluetooth. The cradle was 'only' £88 but it charges - bluetooth handles the phone calls handsfree and transfers contacts - it's not perfect but I'm pretty happy plus the x5 is an amazing car all round.
I'm due an phone upgrade in april next year so a little while to go yet -
