Kids?

Good result. People knock the customer service sometimes, but in my experience it’s not bad. I had a full set of injectors and coils as goodwill on my old 5 series, that was probably a grands worth I got for free on a 5 year old car.

Regarding the DAB, I assume you are tuning to the local ensemble?

I did this conversion on my E61 and the wiring was not there, I had to install it. I also had to code the paddles before they would work. It wasn’t that hard, do-able if you are ok with wires.

[quote="X5Sport"] [quote="pcdee"] Mine won't even open....it tries but looks like it's jammed. Was thinking of getting warranty direct cover as it's covered......any thoughts? Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk [/quote] Probably worth it as a new unit is approx £2k plus install...

My headlight wash is every other squirt if the headlights are on.  Maybe it varies between models.

Simon, I recognise your user name, BMWLander?

Sorry for the hijack.

Sean, did you do this to prevent problems or because you had a problem?  As you say the F07 only lets the front panel move, but mine does open with quite a bang sometimes.

Looks good.  I’m in the process of fitting a double DIN into my sons Audi A2, similar problem with the cage which needs lots for modification.  I bought him the extrons Android nav unit for Christmas complete with reverse camera and DAB interface. Should be good when I get it all working.

Yeah, looks like things are happening, great news.

I had one of my 19” alloys welded on my old E61 and it cracked again two more times in the same place. As Sean says above, it’s best to replace the wheel if you are keeping the car. What wheels are they?

[quote="RichM50d"] That looks great. I had a 530d GT when they first came out, and the number of (positive) comments it got was very surprising. An M5 version would have been awesome. [/quote] I had a 2012 model before, but the LCi that I have now is a much better car all round.  Its quiet...

You've probably seen these already Sean.  Its not an X drive, but does have E70 wheels! http://i64.tinypic.com/2f05bi9.jpg http://i67.tinypic.com/2urotw4.jpg http://i66.tinypic.com/izs1sm.jpg This picture is following the audio install - tweeters front and rear, new mid range and subs under the seat...

I was here a couple of years ago when BMWLand deceased, now I’m back as BMWLander has temporarily deceased and many of the members are on here. So I’ve been around 2 or 3 years but not really posted. I’m now on my second F07, this time a July 2015 535d M Sport with HUD and comfort seats, I’ve added ...

The CLS shooting brake is Merc’s best model of late. I would definitely swap my 5GT for one.
