Hi there, I recently purchased my 2010 x5, all the wheels had been diamond cut and in perfect condition but the previous owner stuck a pair of El cheapo tyres up front to get it through the mot. Since my ownership my wife has done a good job of hitting the kerb on a number of occasions and damaged t...

I know it's been done, do a google search and you will find guys in the US who have completed it. I looked into it a few months back and the main feedback was the work involved removing the central trim is quite involved, if you can find a local firm who will wrap whilst the trim is in place it shou...

They look like oem units, ask the seller to confirm. If they are then the fit will be spot on. You will need to get the car coded, plenty of people can do this for you for a small fee, head over to bmwcoding.com for for info on who or how to code the lights,

Give Jason a call at bmw chipotle, he knows his x5's and will tell what's possible and where to source a replacement, I've never heard of the chains going before, feel for you.

I too have a 40d and have also noticed the car feels more comfortable at higher speeds, it will cruise along at 30 but on a decent the gearbox will drop down looking for me accelerate. I might reset the gearbox memory like Barney suggests. Pulling away froma stand still is not as effortless as my 53...

I've fellow X5 drivers, I've not been on the board for some time now since selling my previous 2, X5's around 4 years ago and replacing it with a 535d. However with a growing family I needed to start looking for a 7 seater replacement. Having loved the 535d performance and ride it didn't take long t...
