had another pop today so starting to look something like. Wheels need a really good polish/ possibly refurb

What did you polish the paint with?

Love the e90, just got rid of a 2009 320d m sport, and wrote of a 335d in 2011  :blink:

Estoril is probably my all time favourite colour! Land rover copied it with Monte Carlo blue but discontinued it in 2004 - obviously not everyone's bag...

Scruff ^  )

I suspect the autoglym crap may even BE petrol....

Ok, I'm REALLY anal with cleaning my car. I've had four or five attempts at a valet so far but keep finding things that take hours to sort out. The biggest problem has been tar, with hundreds of spots all over the body. I've been using autoglym tar remover but its frankly shite, and hard work. Has a...

Hopefully cleaning off the last of the road tar tomorrow so will take some more/ better pics

[quote="535dboy"] Good to see you giving your fellow X5ers a bad name by bumping it up the kerb! I did that once in a loan V8 cayenne. The pedestrian actually spat at it!!! [/quote] Ha  :)) the previous owner bumped it up the kerb, it's one of the auto trader pics. I took the one where it ...

haha, its a bit close to the garage door! If i'd know the photo was going public i'd have made a bit more of an effort... O:-)

Hi all. Sorry, not my first post!  This is my first e70 (had 4 e53's) and love it so far. Bit disappointed with fuel consumption  :blink: but ordered a chip box which in my experience improves things a bit (I know that will upset you remappers!) ill report back when it's fitted http://i49.tinypic.co...

That's the only one I have at the mo!

Anyone know what the e70 rules are? I have a 2007 3.0d se that was reg on 7/9/07. According to parkers cars reg after 3/9 attracted the lower tax of 270 (ish) but mine has the big tax fee at 470.

I think the build date for mine was July. Anyone got the definitive?

Hi all, just bought a 2007 x5 3.0d with a small fault and thought I'd share what turned out to be a cheap solution! The sat nav doesn't work in my car (doesn't recognise the disc) google, and websites like this revealed that this is a common fail as the anti vibration gel hardens on the DVD head. Lo...
