Re: LED angel eye question

Nice job...:thumbsup:

How long do you think it would take a mechanically challenged Muppet (like me) do fit the LEDs.

Shame you didn't do a 'How to' guide with pics though.. :whistle:

Re: X5d M

I've just bought a X535dSE, but I was lusting over a white X5M that was also for sale, but was beyond my budget. :(

Re: The Hunt, The Purchase and The Ownership Review .... all in extensive detail !

Great write-up Thanks for taking the time to impart your experiences. I'm picking up my new (to me) 09 E70 35d SE on Friday from Dick Lovett, Bristol, so i found your post very relevant. I feel like a kid waiting for xmas day now.. http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb315/Yonkyo/20130223_144143_zpsc...

Re: Newbie with X6 (plus initial review)

Lovely motor mate  :camera: I'd love an X6 like yours (but a white one). But my fears about running costs keep stopping me taking the plunge. As its not just the low mpg figures, but also the cost of renewing those massive tyres. Tyres are costly enough on my 635d, and those on the X6 are even bigge...
