Re: Four wheel alignment

Did they give you an after print out to show that everything had been corrected or is the one on the left the after print out?

Re: Boot mat and wheel stud HU

I have something similar that came in a pack of 2 but they don't have a thread running the full length which means the wheel can slide along it without damaging it.

Re: E71 tool tray

Mine has a screwdriver also which I assume is to remove the screws that hold the cover over the battery.

Re: E71 tool tray

I thought the red handle was to release the E-brake if it could not be released normally.

Re: VHC at dealership

[quote="X5Sport"] @Nictrix - ECP are the supplier/warehouse, not the manufacturer.  The only difference between buying from BMW and Pagid  (or Textar) is the box - and the price. Were these alleged bad ECP parts OEM equivalent, or cheap alternatives the garage used that didn’t hold up in s...

Re: High battery discharge

I was getting this in the X6 and replaced it last year. No more messages.
If I sat in the car after driving with the radio on it would also show an error after a few minutes, that to me showed the battery was on its way out.
