[quote="insuranceman"] Thanks to AlpinaB3S & X5Sport for the info. Before I go back to BMW can I ask if you have fitted to your vehicles the Bosal Oris towbar or the Westfalia? [/quote] I have no idea what sort of towbar it is[emoji15] It's the electric one fitted from the factory is a...

Mine was done by the main dealer Listers of Boston with an ad on kit as X5Sport says. They did it FOC and never quibbled or even mentioned me having to pay.

Hi I have an F16 Msport. You can tell the difference between sport mode and comfort but only marginally in my opinion. I have to say in the six months I have had it I have probably only put it in sports mode a handful of times And mostly just to have fun with the gearing rather than the suspension. ...

Thanks for the reply

I have actually put it on with some clear sealant from Halfords. It has stuck it on and seems secure and should also be easy enough to get off if I really need to. You also can't see the sealant at all so it's a good fix hopefully

Hi all I am looking for some advice. The front towing eye cover on my X6 has always been loose. It falls off when I wash it and doesn't seem to be very secure. I accepted this was ok and must be normal until the other day when it fell off in the heavy rain and got lost. I checked a friends X5 and hi...

Just thought I would update if it's any use to anyone in the future. GROANING NOISE I cleaned the friction pads on the caravan and the tow ball again in case it still had any laquer left in it. I also made sure the overrun bar was well greased. I took the caravan to Cornwall and back (350miles each ...

[quote="allforus"] Don't think you have an Issue it looks close but it would s only on extreme reversing that it would be an issue just test it for yourself if you have the reversing camera you can keep an eye on it [/quote] Thanks allforus. That's a good idea as I do have the reverse came...

I will wait and see what happens with the noise when I get it back

Yes they did. They confirmed it was not fully wired and have ordered the parts. It is being fixed in the 12th. I think BMW uk are paying but if not it is the dealer. Either way they have confirmed that it won't cost me a penny. They have been very good about it and have never questioned that it shou...

Yes I've seen that too. I have cleaned the friction pads and the tow ball again so will see if that sorts it.

That's interesting as I have the same noise which is why I found this thread initially. I have spoken to my dealer who to be fair has said they need to see the car but if it not right they will fix it without question. It goes in tomorrow so we will see but so far so good Sent from my iPhone using T...

[quote="Beefcake-2001"] X6 is a fantastic car, I am on my 2nd and love it. Enjoy  [/quote] Thanks beefcake. I thought it would be nice but it's better than I hoped. Absolutely love it [quote="X5Sport"] Welcome.  40mpg is better than I have ever achieved.  35 is the max over 30k m...

Hi I am new to the forum and new to the X driving experience. I was looking to find something that could do everything. It needed to pull a caravan, fit my big dog in the back, my wife and two kids inside as well, be economical enough for my commute to work, and not drive like a brick on wheels. I a...

Thank you.

It is new although I didn't factory order it. I will speak to them tomorrow and see how I get on.

Apart from that it is great though

Hello I am a newbie who discovered this forum when searching for something on this subject. I have just bought a new X6 40d Msport with a factory towbar to pull my caravan and have the same issue with the electrics on the fridge so assume that BMW haven't put the full electrics on as per previous co...
