Diagram..

This is the camera

I bought a reverse camera off ebay the other week that replaces one of the number plate lights and I may fit it this weekend. As the wiring diagram is a bit pants (Chinese) I thought I would ask on here. I assume the camera gets power from one of the reverse lights - which would mean the cable suppl...

I think it was an option and if yours doesn’t have power column then you can’t. If you have got it then you set the wheel where you want using the column stalk, press the red M button on the side seat control followed by the number you prefer 1,2 or 3.

Due to suspected agro in removing the centre console I may leave it as it is but you never know..

So this morning with a thick head I thought I would take off the silver trim bits and wrap them with a subtle matt carbon film just for a change.

Saw this in Dubai today. Heavily modified X6 with monster twin centre exhaust. Sounded like a thunder storm.. Had X8 badge on the back.

And I've just been to view another 2005 4.4 as I've thought about changing mine. It wasn't a bad car- if you don't know them inside out like I do - but it just was in as good condition as mine or different enough to make me want to buy it even though its 3 years newer. And I only saw one E53 on the ...
