Re: Interior trim removal?

I keep looking at the dent and scratches on our 35d dash trims and I think it's about time I did something with them, I did the carbon thing on my Mrs 123d a few years back and the results were great just don't think it will suit the X5.

I'll have a go at the glovebox later

Re: I think we have a small turbo boost issue on my wifes 35d - help required

Got the requested boost figures for the standard map in the 35d if it helps anyone in the future:

1000rpm - 11.76psi
1250rpm – 21.17psi
1500rpm – 24.99psi
1750rpm – 26.02psi
2000rpm – 26.46psi

It's off to BMW on Tuesday  ;)

I'd be checking all of the bushes on your rear suspension as my friend had similar issues until he changed some of his - good luck with it  :)

Hi all, My wife's X5 35d is feeling a little sluggish these days from the lights and I've recorded an average of 3 0-60 runs of around 8 seconds using a racelogic V-box and have also noticed the MPG around town has suffered going from around 23mpg to around 20mpg, although on a run it's still doing ...
