- ✓Check the air suspension on all four corners; the car should sit perfectly level after standing
- ✓Verify that the IBS (Integrated Braking System) recall has been performed, as it affects most G05 models
- ✓Inspect the inner edges of the rear tyres, as the X5 can consume them rapidly if the alignment is out
- ✓Test the split tailgate and the luggage cover motor (if fitted) for smooth operation
