Re: RaceChip results

I am thinking about a DTUK for my F10 535D 313 ps. However it puts the torque to 740nm which i am worried because the gearbox can take a maximum of 700nm.
What do you all think ?

Re: Placed a Deposit on a X5 40d M Sport

Thank god it has m sport suspension deletion then.
I love the width of the rear tyres it looks like a monster from the back.
One thing which is abit of a pain with the car is that the ipod is connected via Aux. So you have to change the track with the ipod. Is there another way of doing this ?

Re: Placed a Deposit on a X5 40d M Sport

That is exactly what i thought. The dealer printed the spec sheets for me. It has M Sport Suspension Deletion. Is this a good thing or a bad thing ? They have my part exchange for sale already: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201410298584709/sort/default/usedcars/radius/1500/page/1/pos...

Re: Placed a Deposit on a X5 40d M Sport

The rear tyres on the X5 i am buying could do with being replaced in the next few months.
What decent brand tyres (Dunlop, Pirelli, Michelin, Bridgestone, Continental) last the longest on these cars ?
Thanks

Re: Placed a Deposit on a X5 40d M Sport

Thank You :) Yes i opted for the 40D as it just has that little bit more umph over the 30D. Damian can you not get them replaced under warranty ? Collection will be 2:00 tomorrow !! I will be sad to see the Audi go, but since we have had it we have had nothing but trouble ! http://i61.tinypic.com/o5...
