Had this problem, so I unplugged the IBS which also disables the stop/start which I like , havent had any problem with the battery or any electrical gremlins...unplugged over four years ago, yes still get the code if scanned, but I know what it is......

probably, the X6 does fit...

Been a few times myself as said pretty easy, just keep in the rails or you find yourself bouncing about on the side walls of your tyres and there are a couple of bits that stick out halfway down the carriages on one side so wise to fold your mirrors in when you get to them, I was in my X6 so a bit ...

Just a question, why did you want a budget X5 when you have a lovely X6?

Just go to a disgnostic company and get the Adblue deleted

If its the oem BMW ones you can ring your local dealer parts dept and supply VIN etc and they can get you a new one, did it a few years ago, it only took two days for a new one to arrive.

How old is the battery?.....when you say increased please elaborate..

Ouch! I hope everyone got out OK. Battery is in the transmission tunnel on the i8. I went to a launch day for them a few years back and getting in and out was hilarious if you’re 6ft plus like me.

8 series???

Merry Christmas everyone...keep warm

If I were you, I'd just whip the manifold off and get rid of the flaps, you will need to purchase the delete kit, plenty on flea Bay :) , its not a bad job takes about 1hr ....one thing the nuts on one side of the manifold are easily dropped so undo them to nearly the top the use a magnet to unscrew ...
