Btw, is it my imagination or is the "x" version higher on its wheels?
Yes, it's 40 mm higher than ordinary suspension.

Nice to hear that other 530 xdA users are also satisfied. I have very similar experiences. The car is just absolutely great. Tomorrow I'll have an opportunity to test drive the LCI version by myself, let's see then what's the difference.

I'll also go to comfort seats in my next car...just for curiosity...can we get some more detailed experiences: how they feel and work in practise? Easy to find a good position for different size drivers?

The comfort seats are real great. I'm also very big and tall, but in the comfort seats i can drive for hours without pain in my back. Als having long legs, in a normal seat I don't enough support on my knees, with this seats I do.

My previous car (Chevrolet Tahoe) had great seats, but this is even a lot better.

Although they're called comfort seats, I must say when I sit in it, I have the idea to be completly fixed (? right word) and even going fast in curves, you realy won't move.

If I had to give them a rate from 1 to 10, i'dd give 11.

I must say, this is the second car I have with comfort seats (I had a 525tds), but even the seats have made a big progress...

I made a appointement to remap (14th June 2007).
Similar cars have been done by the tuner achieving between 285 en 295 HP.

In the afternoon i'll go to Switserland, so I will drive through the Deutsche Autobahn.

Have a nice trip
