Re: Not sure on my aftermarket wheel / tyre pressures

I’m not sure actually. They are the Hartge Classics which came on the car I am afraid.

Re: Not sure on my aftermarket wheel / tyre pressures

Yeah that have a max, but if rather go lower just not sure where to aim. Re: new tyres I’d like a set of 20” e53, either 5 or 7 spokes... so nice!

Re: What’s an car active antenna x 2

Yes, what you described is the same - are they about 6” by 1.5”? Mine are pretty ugly so I guess if they are for freeview removing shouldn’t be an issue!

What’s an car active antenna x 2

Hey My 2003 e53 has something called an car active antenna on the top of the passenger window and rear passenger door. They are very ugly and I’d like to remove them, or perhaps swap them for something nicer if I can - any ideas what it’s for and if I can remove. It’s worth knowing that my car has a...

I have spent quite sometime searching the forums and got some answers but not all so I hoped you could advise me: - boot catch noise. I...

Re: Hello to you all! New car on the way...

I’m not actually a fan of the styling, but that engine is a gift. Is there is an expert on the pre-face life E53 as I’d love to put back to a stock body? (Lucky I can get parts and resprays low cost).

Hello to you all! New car on the way...

Hi guys I have been told to say hi from another forum as I’m getting a new to me Bmw in a few weeks - basically my silly road toy has gone to fund something else, and along with a new baby and a dog I needed a cheaper run around. I was looking for a while and in the end found something a little diff...
