Re: Newbie...hi all!

Jobs are a pain just now!  Good luck in getting something you want :)

The noise is very muted actually, it has an AC Schnitzer exhaust which was factory spec...so is a little grunty when it is first started (blips with a grunt) and under full throttle sounds like a scolded elephant! haha

I've not had a proper look around the site as yet, but are there many other 4.8's about?

TV update

yet another post!

Do any of you guys know about the TV and the moveover to digital?  I've got the TV in the car, but obviously after the digital switchover I can't get any channels anymore!

Do BMW/aftermarket guys supply anything to update?

Thanks!

Tyres!

Hey all,

Just bought an all-round set for the X5...cost QUITE a lot! Wondered if anyone knew any decent places for the future to get some at a reasonable price?

Also, if anyone has a 4.8...where did you get the back ones from? actually finding somewhere which stocks these is a nightmare ...

Re: Newbie...hi all!

haha thanks :) ah the schnitzer bits were factory specified...I'm a bit anal about keeping it factory standard!

Horizon, I come down quite a bit (down now in fact) so that's not too much of an issue!
