Speedplay X5 Chrome-Moly Pedals

The X5 oozes quality

Advantages: Has a very upmarket image and robust build quality
Disadvantages: Limited off road ability

Before I say another word, let's get one thing straight - BMW's X5 is essentially a road car. More or less without exception, everything I've heard or written about the X5 praises its superb road manners and its saloon car like quality, comfort and poise. Having just spent a hard-charging week behind the wheel of this 3.0-litre turbodiesel model, I would second that. The BMW X5 for me is a perfect mix of new and old. In my opinion it successfully blends BMW's new futuristic look, with the clean muscular lines of the old X3. The X5 front-end face echoes the traditional BM "twin-kidney grill" , whilst its rear end retains that distinctive "boxyness" which made previous models so aggressive. Underneath the bonnet is BMW 3.0L straight 6 cylinder where the diesel does 235 hp and has a top torque of no less than 520 Nm. It's nicely packaged ...

Review of BMW X5 3.0i

Pedal Power

Advantages: Perfect for sporting or casual use.
Disadvantages: None

laughter. Every sensitive citizen is rushing to your aid, convinced that either a car knocked you over, or you are in the throes of a heart attack. Police and paramedics have been phoned to cover either eventuality, and you are struggling with massively hurt pride and total inability to free your feet from the cleat mechanism.! I had also worried about the ease - or lack of it - of getting the correct side of the pedal where I needed it while on the move. So far, this has not been difficult. The pedals seem to be so well balanced that a quick flick of the foot gets everything in place. There is no doubt that this system transfers all one's energy into forward motion, keeps the feet in a safe position, and generates more speed as both the upward and downward movement of the legs is productive. 5 The Purchase If you are not confident about ...

Review of Shimano A530 SPD Single Sided Touring Pedals

It's MY - X5!

Advantages: Small, Light, Hands Free function, colour
Disadvantages: Only one game

Have just bought a second hand MY-X5, on T-Mobile. A great looking little phone in silver, with a large colour screen. The first thing I did after getting it was to get it Unlocked. For the uninitiated this means that I am now able to use any Network, and I have since plonked in an Orange Sim card, as Orange is the best in my area. As for the features of the phone, coloured icons lead you through the menus, which are easily accesed using the arrow keys. First is the Phonebook, which can store 90 numbers on the Sim card, and 300 on the phone. Each person can be put into a category, such as friend, colleagues, VIP etc. Next up is Accesories, which includes a very functional and easy to use Calculator, Alarm Clock, and Currency Converter, and a Countdown Timer, great for making sure you don't burn your fairy cakes! Then comes ...
