Porsche used to build their cars with a factory-fitted tracker built in, and you just had to pay for the subscription via Porsche Connect. A couple of years ago, they stopped doing that, and now they're fitted by the dealers pre-delivery. I don't know for sure if this was because the insurance...

Thanks. You really should be asked for some kind of security code.

Er, no. €2,055, which is £1,720, but that's the Netherlands for you. I hope that includes some kind of subscription too. EDIT: After Googling it, it appears the €2,055 includes two years of subscription, which is normally €299 per year. That makes it a bit more palatable.

I've just had the Porsche approved Vodafone Tracker installed this afternoon on my yet-to-be collected Cayenne Turbo. I know because I suddenly got an SMS saying it was active with a password and four-digit code that the call centre asks for. Quick question. Can you change all these things once...

Dolomite is a lovely colour, yet there are very few photos of the Cayenne EV in Dolomite. It was the colour I chose for my first Taycan, paired with Blackberry, and it looked stunning. Seeing your photos makes me think I want it again, and I'm about to take delivery of a Mystic Green Cayenne...

PHEVs have their place. I'm talking about choosing the setting on the PHEV which uses the engine to directly charge the battery. That is less economical than just using the engine. The whole point of a PHEV is that you have the engine there when you have no charge left, so just use that. I used...

Why do people not grasp that using the engine to charge the battery makes no sense?

After my sales guy did something, I now have my car added to my app, and I can check the options it has fitted. All is good. It has the Parking Assist with 3D as per the 2026 model year. All being well, I should be collecting it next Saturday.

Yes, it's stupid, but it's working as it's designed to. The only "M model" available to buy at the moment is the "X5 M60e" (a regular model with the M Sport trim package isn't an M Model). Therefore, when you choose the "M Model" option, it switches to the only X5 model available, and that's not...

Yep. ;) If it's any consolation, I don't think you're the only that's confused. I know I'm going to be repeating myself again, but I want to write this out as clear as possible so people stop being confused: In summary BMW launched the (G65) X5 earlier this year, and it has FIVE different...

What are you confused about? That's the X5. It's not the iX5.

Of course. It's not even close. It would certainly explain why you got the spec to the price you did. The ICE X5 *does* have an M Performance model on sale already, which has a base price of €130,000 in the Netherlands, and that is indeed called the "M60" ("M60e", to be precise), which is a...

It's not the "M60". It's the 60 xDrive M Sport. The M Performance model will be launched next year, and it will be called the "M70". After that there will be a "full" M version. It's also the lowest tier model, too, as it's their only one at the moment! Like I said, the 60 xDrive is just a...

We'll see what happens. This is my fourth Porsche, and we don't have track your dream in the Netherlands. I suspect the dealer will do something but it will just be in the background.

Funnily enough, I went to my local dealer where I live in south Holland to see the launch of the i3 this morning, but I sat in an X5 that they had in the showroom. It had the Merino full leather option, which certainly feels nice, but it adds around €7,000 to the cost, because you have to also...

If I try to add a car to my Porsche account, it just says I need to contact my dealer. I'm aware of having to do this in the past with other Porsches. I have my VIN. Can I see my options any other way on the Porsche app?

Yes, that's correct. On '26 models, the option was "Park Assist including 3D surround view". For '27 models, this option has been changed to "Remote Park Assist with 3D surround view". It's a different option. When you put your '26 build into a '27 configurator, it obviously will say the "Park...

Sorry, it's my fault for not quoting "mirto" directly. I'm responding to the post from them in the NL where they specify the prices of their spec. I'm surprised they're that close. Like I say, having sat in the iX5 in a fully loaded configuration with the full leather etc, it still doesn't...

This will be my 4th Porsche, and I still don't fully grasp the difference, other than the 3D is obviously better. I just want to be able to see the front and rear kerb views, if I'm honest. If I remember correctly, they changed the Taycan that you don't get kerb view on the 3D view, but maybe...

I currently have an iX3 (arrived about three months ago), and I went to the dealer launch of the iX5, but if I was choosing between the iX5 60 M Sport and the Cayenne S, it would be the Porsche all day long. In fact, I'm surprised the price difference is so small.
