Re: Folding wing mirror mods

Pete,

When I bought my X5 I had a similar problem, my bluetooth wouldn't connect. Turned out to be a broken cable between somewhere in the armrest. Hope this helps.

Re: New Battery - Main Dealer!!

Just the hardware Richard, I am fitting it myself! Is that classed as a mod?  :o Smeeagain, It's the right battery for the car, the dealer offered a choice of four!
