Tow bar with M Performance Kit

X5Sport wrote: Sat Jul 24, 2021 9:50 am This thread refers to the F15, I thought that you had a G05?
Realised that afterwards, as was following a thread from one of the posters who had an G15, but now has a G05..

So I hope mine will fit!!

Tow bar with M Performance Kit

I have the rear carbon diffuser and recently got a westfalia towbar fitted. No issues, no cutting. It can definitely be done.

Detachable tow-bar recommendations?

Looking to fit a detachable bar to my X5, as need to be able to tow the caravan with it. However, I'm wondering if having the CF rear splitter thingy will affect it? Have spoken to BMW who confirmed that theirs (Westfalia) doesn't state that it's "not" compatible with the bodykit, so they ...

Well, and it's having a new cluster fitted this afternoon - Dread to think what that would cost out of warranty!!

Hopefully problem solved!

Ok, so borrowed a friend's Snap On kit yesterday, and car has a fault!! "B7F6A3 Instrument panel: Voltage supply, terminal 30 failed" So, I guess that's why it's losing it's time & date when left for 30 mins or so.. Phone call to BMW imminent - Not a good show @ less than 8,000 mile an...

Yay, G05 section!

Hi, I've just made the same switch from F15 M50d to G05 M50d and would agree with you, what a motor! I loved the F15 but this one is just better in pretty much every way. My F15 was mapped and probably felt slightly quicker in some circumstances, but the way there G05 puts the power down is pretty ...

Wierd one. The F46 doesn’t care whether there’s a phone there or not as it doesn’t use the phones for the clock. Intrigued. Yup, that's my thoughts, the car should get the time settings from either it's own GPS and/or online connection... More tinkering required once I get the paper manual, cba scr...

Automatic time setting is enabled, already checked that. Just admitting that it bongs when door opened and puts message on cluster. One I start and the phone is connected via WiFi and bt, time updates automatically..

Hmm..

Have my phone paired to the car, also now on Android auto after the OTA update - But, whenever I unlock the car after it's been stood for maybe a couple of hours - I get the following message flash up on the 6wb.. "please set time and date in the vehicle" Sure enough, if I power on, the da...

New owner, looking for recommendations..

Picked car up Wed, it's only 9 months old/7k miles but already showing swirls in the paint from, presumably the dealerdhip car wash monkeys :( (it was a dp demo car) Anyway, the paint is dark grey (Arctic grey brilliant effect) and I want to clear the swirls and possibly ceramic coat it? It won't be...

Sky Lounge (fancy sunroof)

My car came with it, but I actually like it.

Apparently there are 1500 leds in the, that all change colour with the ambient lighting settings. The kids love it!

Little video (if it embeds properly)

Thanks.

As soon as I saw it, I thought "that's mine" not normally a fan of dark colours, but I love it, and the grey hides the grille size 😂
