E70 X5 3.0d - feeling flat...
Discussion
Hi all,
We have a 60k mile 3.0d pre-Lci 2007 e70 X5 and it's been utterly brilliant as a family wagon, however all of a sudden the car has started going for a lower gear than it always used to on roads I've driven on for years
E.g on a slight incline it goes for 2nd as opposed to cruising up in 3rd
This makes for a clumsy driving experience and is frankly annoying. It's also started holding into 2nd for what feels like an eternity when cold, however I go and floor it, frankly it feels perfectly spritely for its size etc
It has BMW auc warranty until early feb and want to take advantage of this, any suggestions as to what I can point at to ensure it's healthy? (E.g I'm nervous about inlet flaps, dpf etc - it's already had a new gear selector...)
Cheers
Chris
