It should be X50 under Item 5 Optional Equipment in the log book
POST 3Original post
or, put your foot down. If it scares the living do daa's out of you it's a normal turbo, if it means you have to stop, get out and sit down for a little bit it's an X50.
POST 4Original post

Woah... turn the volume down a bit :hand: Personally, I don't like the aerokit, but some people love it, so it's 50/50 as to whether it affects resale I guess. I wouldn't pay any more for one with it, but I probably wouldn't pay any less either - if everything else was right. After all, you don't see that bit when you're driving, do you?
POST 11Original post
sounds lovely. Its a while since i have driven a 123d - my usual steed is a 330d, but BMW really does produce some cracking good diesels across the range (though I don't see the point of the 25d :dont know: ). I'm not so sure the white / rd combo is that rare - I've seen a few more recently and its one that BMW dealers are recommending. One of my faves as well, behind dakargelb, of course :thumbs: Sorry to hijack!!
