Re: Wheel spacers

Hi bought some for my E53 X5 a number of years ago H & R which bolt to the hub then the wheels bolt to them which is safer than getting extended bolts , contacted the insurance which told me to take them off or they wouldn`t insure me ! Check first with your insurance ? What model do you have ? ...

Re: Advice buying a used F15 X5

Steer clear of cars that are on the coast as that seems to be the reason that they are rusty. I will drop you a pm with my deta...

Re: Advice buying a used F15 X5

Hi there seems plenty on the market but most are over priced in main dealers by about 3k, I went for a well specd car as they seem to sell a bit easier 2nd time round but go very quickly. We have bought quite a few cars from our main dealer and even with plenty of visits I only got to know about the...

Re: Not sure on my aftermarket wheel / tyre pressures

Hi best trying local tyre centre they should have all of the specs for your car !
You can always drop down a few sizes 20" or 19" is your car an E53 ?
As the X6 alloys also fit with spigot rings on the fronts to centre the wheels . I have some for sale in the buy and sell section .

Re: 40d or M50d?

I bought a 40d M sport a couple of weeks ago , tried the 50d but thought it was a bit overkill for what I needed . I suppose it is up to you what you need it for , I havent found the 40d lacking in power 5.9 seconds to 60 , 147 mph , 30 mpg . Tyres are the first thing I usually check if they are mis...
