Re: 2012 - E70 Wheel Arch Query

Hi all so quest for buying a new to me X5 still continues... it so happens that this one is now available again as the person who bought it still hasn't got finance approved so dealership are now open to me viewing it. So back onto the original query, apart from the wrong rivets being used - which i...

Re: 2012 - E70 40d M Sport - Engine Noise / Vibration

Hi all Just by way of update i went to see another 40d today, more so to check out vibration and compare. The other 40d has a bit less vibration which leads me to conclude that my concerns of this one are some what warranted. The garage hasn't came back to me with anything, doubtful they will as the...

Re: Purchase options guidance X5 2012 M Sport

Thanks guys.

Unfortunately I travelled 90 mins or so and only viewed the car for 10 mins before calling quits...it was described as really good.....I spotted two not so good paint jobs so bailed.

Car 1 still is appealing but the issues I mentioned are big

Re: 2012 - E70 - Bonnet Alignment

Car is 18k, dealer will provide year warranty, but not cheap. Car is amazingly clean essentially 2 previous owners but at same address pretty much full service history. Its best I've seen otherwise but this and noise are making me think negative. Would panel damage be ok bonnet on adjacent wings ?

Re: 2012 - E70 40d M Sport - Engine Noise / Vibration

Hi

Many thanks super useful to know as it confirms issue.

Just to check when you say yours is smooth - do you mean no vibration at idle on steering wheel?

Also anyway to video share as I'd like to show engine cover movement and see if you guys have that....

Thanks for heads up about recall.
