Re: Auto locking of doors when driving away from standstill

Re: Headunit to headrest monitors. BMW X5 E53 2005 3.0d Sport

So the monitors will have both video/audio being carried to them from the interface boxes and the 3.5mm jack will be for wired headphones. Looking at the pics you only may have video currently running to them as you’d usually need the audio rca too. In theory yes you should be able to just run the n...

Re: Beast 2.0 Modding

Off original subject, but count me in for a meet, I'll be 1 year off 80 by next year would be great to see some old faces again ( Sanj if still around ) Lez. I still keep in touch with Sanj so I’m sure we could get him to attend something. I brought this matter up last year, it just faded in oblivi...

Re: Rear diff and transfer box oil change

Just get it from the dealers as you don’t need a huge amount and best to get their own to be 100% correct. That’s what I did but was many years ago.

Re: Beast 2.0 Modding

Been following this thread from the beginning and have to say it’s impressive, as I need some paintwork done, not to this extent, much as I’d like but often thought about having the black plastic done but worry about how well it will take/stick, not peel off. Have you had any previous experience ha...

Re: Beast 2.0 Modding

It sure is a lovely job, how about an X5 meet up in 2021 ? Lez Thanks Lez, sounds like a plan. If 6 owners are invited I'll be there, depending when it was held 8) Well hopefully once into 2021 we might be able to have more than 6 again. Well guess as it’s outside and socially distancing it’s be fi...
