Re: What stereo

yes for sound it will be but not for features. Xtron is a little shit agreed but the AVIN units are very good. Unless your running competition spec sound i think the quality will be sufficient enough. they look better and the features are endless. When i had my X5 i made my own fascia from MDF and w...

Re: 1 mph over

Reading the above comment is interesting in that it is an international standard. I spent alot of time driving in America and alot of states there have a zero tolerance. you get pulled for going over even slightly on the highways there.

Re: F30 Screen in E70 NBT Retrofit

F30 into E90 is pretty common. Google will be your friend on this one as quite a few people have done it in America. I would imagine, if the screen sizes are the same, that the concept would be similar?

Re: X5 Sport

Never really understood why people ask forums or facebook how much is my car worth??? The car is worth more to you than it is to a buyer, and its true value will only ever be what someone is prepared to pay for it. Go on AT, Pistonheads etc, check the top and bottom prices for near identical models ...

Re: Where to start.... X5 03 plate 3.0D

Strip all the shit out and just get a dynavin, if you want an oem look or a quality double din unit if not bothered about oem look. They all have bluetooth, uptodate sat nav and some other features. By changing the unit alone you will resolve a number of your issues, however you will want to put the...

Re: LED Headlights Replacement

They should be straight plug and play. Connect the plugs into the ballasts then the ballasts into the bulbs. So long as you buy the correct bulb ie. H1 h7 etc you should be good to go.

Re: LED Headlights Replacement

LED's will be the way forward. The heat coming from them is less and its a much more straight forward fit. you dont need to mess around with ballasts etc. Its just a bulb replacement.

They wont be as bright as HID but they wont consume as much power or flicker.
