** SOLD -> For Sale: X5 E53 4.8iS - going in for PX £3k

Hi all, After 9 years of ownership I've decided to part exchanged my 4.8iS for £3k. It's going on this Friday 10th August but in case anyone is interested and can offer better than £3k, feel free to get in touch. See one of my older for sale post for pictures - http://xdrivers.co.uk/forum/index.php/...

Re: higher mileage v lower mileage

My view is that these cars are designed to be driven and serviced, not parked up and not serviced. I’d always prefer a higher mileage car with meticulous service record, MOT history and general condition over a lower mileage car but with long service gaps. As a used buy, we don’t know how a low mile...

Re: Wanted 4.8is

Hi, If you are still looking for a 4.8iS then please reply back. I've owned one since 2009 and it had only one private owner + bmw before that. Although it's black but not typical flat black, it's a two tone and looks more like dark blue. Mileage is about 117k but with a thick folder of history and ...

Gearbox oil change - garage recommendations in West Midlands

Morning all, ** Had a quick search but can't find a definitive answer hence the post. ** Got my E53 4.8 back on the road after selling E70 40D :) Stopped BMW insured warranty due to mileage (112k), I believe they'll refuse most claims on the basis of mileage and age so no point paying over the odds....

Re: For Sale: E70 40d M-Sport late 2010 Nappa leather

Thanks Huxsta for the correction, you're absolutely right. I've now removed the reference from my post. Hi X5Sport, I think mine are very close to 337 but not exactly that, below is a picture of 337 from the internet showing inner lip between the spokes but that's not in my wheels: http://i64.tinypi...

NOW SOLD: E70 40d M-Sport late 2010 Nappa leather !Reduced!

Hi everyone, I usually head to owner forums when looking for a car, to find not a cheap but a well looked after car. Doing the same to sell my E70 which is such a lovely example that I'd not hesitate to sell it confidently to a fellow forum member. I just posted the same ad to autotrader too. Here a...

Re: differences between bmw eu5 and eu6 diesel 3.0

I think eu5 and eu6 are European emission standards and BMW must've tune them both differently to meet each of the standards. As to exactly what are the differences, I'm sure more knowledgeable members will chime in. Mechanical aspects of the engines may be exchangeable but don't think electrics and...
