Don't order the genuine bootliner like I did , I thought it was rubber (looked like it in the pics on ebay) but its cheap plastic ,I should read the description more carefully as it was clearly stated 65 quids worth lol !!!!!!!!! more like 17 though ...   I bought the genuine rubber mats and at leas...

Looks good in white , have the mudflaps saved the rear arch leading edge from the usual gravel rash ? , as mine being black and no mudflaps is peppered with white chips on the rear plastic arch and the end of the sill cover too. Think I will get the 2 rear arches painted then fit clear vinyl over th...

I don't think even the genuine wheel centers last very long if you use the jetwash a lot ,water gets under the finish and they soon look tatty . One of my first purchases though I need the wheels refurbed before fitting them ! The genuine little "m" badges on the wheels were 6 quid each wh...

Sounds a good spec, those comfort seats are a desirable and quite rare option due to the high cost from what I hear ,Welcome 

3 claims in 5 years will have made any NCD you have totally worthless , my premium more than doubled from my old 330d e46 to an x5sd ,was told its group 47 out of 50 !

I think the more expensive the vinyl wrap the easier it is to fit ,might be worth getting a pro to do it and you just remove the bits and take them along , could maybe do it in very little time and far better than a beginner could 

Id think a pan sunroof would be a liability on an 07 car , its not a matter of if but when it going to break ,( idid want one though but had to do without ! ) I bought an sd and it has plenty of go and Id think the single turbo engine would be working quite hard given the weight of these things .   ...

I just bought a set of angel eyes for my E70 as well as the originals are yellow light and about 1 candle power. Those ones look nice and bright.

Thanks Don 

Some pics : 2009 x5sd m sport with beige leather on 20's,xenon lights and reverse cam. 1 owner fsh, 128k. My wishlist was sd, black , msport ,panroof and towbar  but this came up without the roof which I understand can be trouble as they age and no towbar but will get one fitted . Got 2 coats of col...

Right in front of the diesel tank there are little box sections either side the tank mounts off these just crumbled away both rear jacking points holed when poked and the outer sill has a big hole behind the plastic cover hidden away. E46's tend to go in the drivers rear arch area much worse than pa...

Was glad to find there was a dipstick fitted under the engine cover on my x5sd looked like they tried to hide it out of the way almost .

When you put the sizes into a tyre size calculator for an x5 e70 the 20's are a spot on 100% match front to rear but the 19's are 0.3% out ,not a lot but if the system doesn't like anything over 1.5% difference they you don't want to be starting with an error even on new tyres which will only get wo...

Hi Alan, I put that number in realoem and its listed for an X5 E53   (01/2001 — 09/2006) X5 F15   (08/2012 — 06/2018) X6 F16   (09/2013 — 07/2018) but not an e70 though I'm sure they should all be the same fitment .The problem is the tyre may look new but could be up to 17 years old if off an e53  a...

Hi thanks for the prompt reply snrbrtsn  Sounds like a dedicated kit is the way to go ,mine is a 2009 e70 which I failed to mention.  Good to see the Bmwland is alive and well, haven't been on it since it closed a good few years ago but used to be a very regular poster on there .
