Rear Ride Height

So I have done a few longer journeys with live monitoring of the ride height and, other than variations when cornering or rough surfaces, the ride height is the same for both sides. And when parked on the flat.
Just seems to be when reversing onto the downhill facing driveway. Go figure!!!😀

Rear Ride Height

I have an issue where the rear right sits noticeably higher than the left when parked facing downhill on my the drive. No fault codes relating to the issue.

Rear inside edge tyre wear 285/45 19

No I didn"t. Had a recent "health check" when car was recalled for EGR issue and even wear across the rears was reported.
I will monitor though.

Rear inside edge tyre wear 285/45 19

Hi all I recently had my X5 serviced at my indy and was told that the inside edges of both rear tyres - Pirelli Scorpion - were wearing excessively, the nearside moreso. The rest of the tread is 3-4 mm. He said its a trait of the vehicle and no amount of alignment will alter the wear characteristics...

New to the X5

If I have the right part, a new slam panel is over £500!!
I agree it's not right. It's a 2017 car. For the amount of corrosion I'd have expected it to have been driven in the sea rather living at the side of it :D

Front disc size

Hi all, Looking to change front discs and pads on F15 X5. Realoem lists a 332mm and a 348mm disc on my VIN and refers to the 348 as part of the M performance power kit. As I have the M sport package, will I have the 348mm discs? Is the 332mm for China only or am I getting that round my neck? Thanks

New to the X5

It was bought from a dealer in Scotland according to the paperwork, which is a bit too far to go.
It's got to go in for EGR recall so I will check with Sytners then.

New to the X5

I haven't bought it for off-roading :D

Not sure about the dark wheels. The previous keeper had them done recently and they were much darker than he expected.

Rusty scuttle and bonnet catches.
