Re: New tyres on Wednesday....

Thanks for the comments... Yeah I am a bit reluctant to go back there, but they were also the only garage to supply tyres on Monday... And with pregnant wife about to drop, I want to get tyres on the car before it goes pop! I was thinking about getting wife to ask about the tracking to be done.... T...

Re: Spent a few hours cleaning

It's a 2.0d m sport, with the aero body kit, which was fitted at the factory... It's got leather seats.. And the tinted windows. We had an x3 3.0d before which was great but drank too much diesel, and didn't have body coloured bumpers...

Dpf filter

Just wondering - I've got an 06 plate BMW X3 2.0d and was wondering if it had a diesel particle filter? Only on start up no smoke comes out of the rear which is quite different to our e91 320d 2006 which would have a little puff on start up....

Ipad onto headrest?

Hi

Just wondering if anyone on here uses any kind of product out there - that allows you to attach an ipad to the headrests for the little ones to watch stuff on?

I've had a look around and there are some different ones out there - and just wondered if anyone here had used one?

Cheers
matt
