Even though I could watch F1 I rarely do anymore, highlights is about it these days. To much greed by Liberty and Sky GM Andretti want to join and Liberty wont let them (??) they have built a huge factory at Silverstone and are already developing power trains so why not allow new blood (££££ $$$$) F...

Tyres may be correct size, but are they * rated, are they the same make front and rear. These cars don't like even a small mismatch in tyre circumference front to rear or across axles. If the tyres are not * rated make a small chalk mark at the bottom of each tyre roll the car forward a few wheel re...

I fitted one into the E70 after lots of expensive issues with the OEM screen. I wouldn't hesitate to do it again truly plug and play lets me switch between the CiC or Android system using all the OEM controls. I my opinion it allows a better choice of sat nav programs and obviously just like anythin...

A friend on a shoot had a Nissan Pick Up with Tonca Toy tyres like that they lasted just over a month
Apparently the noise they made on the road drove him nuts he went back to standard wheel/tyre set up. He sold the Tonca Toy set for more than the cost of a new standard set so a win for him

Like most others here age is creeping up so that slows us all down a little :D The E53 is going strong though only used on sunny days now (had a silly offer from a guy at Goodwood last year so may even sell) My E70 I must say has been boringly reliable, Oh Oh shouldn't have said that, anyone now how...

If the National Grid is under pressure when we all plug in the kettle at half time for big sporting events what will happen when half the population plug their cars in after work ?? :? Just about the whole of the national grid will need upgrading plus how do you increase output from a wind farm to m...

Thats really interesting when I get the 4.6 out of store I will give this a go so it may be Easter before a reply is coming

The E53 4.6is has Homelink and I tried for ages to get the car and door to communicate with no luck what so ever. BMW Dealer suggested the door has the wrong motor I interpreted that as "the door manufacturer got wrong not BMW" so just use a remote kept in the car. My E70 doesn't have the ...

From memory (dangerous at my age) you need the TV tuner unit which lives under the floor near the battery with luck the wiring should be there already. Make sure the tuner is Digital/Hybrid unit you may need the help of someone with a BMW capable diagnostic system to get it working

Seasons best wishes to everyone and a peaceful problem free 2024

Congrats Lez

I have Wintac Extreme (2nd set 4 years old about) on a set of 19" wheels for the E53 haven't needed them in sunny Sussex for probably 10 years (we haven't even had a really heavy frost let alone snow) but trips into France Skiing and Germany to see friends mean they are well used every year. I ...

Had a very similar situation with Mercedes spoke to the Dealer Service Manager who asked me to email some pictures, no response more telephone calls with me becoming angrier and angrier and resending the original mail several times. Eventually after a confrontation in the showroom the Dealer explain...
