Re: winter wheel/tyre question

Hello Jay, Just to reiterate, check which model of X5 these wheels come from. The internal diameter of the centre of the wheel must match the diameter of the lip on the hub or the wheel won't go on or will be too big and unsafe. I believe those from an E53, X6 and X5(F15) are different to an E70. Be...

Hello, Can I advise that you check the modelwher Hello, Can I advise that you check which model the wheels came from? They should be from an E70 as I understand those from an E53 have a different centre to the ones you need for an E70. If they're different I have a set of 19 inch wheels that are fro...

Re: 2011 LCI rear led lights not working

Hello, Almost certainly water has got past the seal, which is prone to breaking down on older cars. Only cure is to fit a new unit - the individual LED cannot be repaired - which will come with a much improved and effective seal. The local BMW body shop charged me £200 three or so years ago when the...

Re: Will E70 rear seats fit F15

Hi Gaffer, Am I right in thinking you want to replace the F15 rear seat with an E70 7 seat kit, ie the middle row and the two small folding seats? If so I don't think they will! I had a 7 seater E70 for 10 years and recently changed to a 5 seater F15. The F15 has fixed rear seats ie they can't be mo...

Re: Dipstick or I drive

My understanding is that oil levels should be measured hot and that goes for gearboxes and engines! Drive for about 30 mins, let it stand for a few then check I drive and the dipstick levels for the engine oil. If over the top on the dipstick when hot then there's your answer!

Re: Will winter wheels from E70 rims fit 2018 F15 hubs?

Greeting everyone, After exploring the possibility of adapting these wheels to fit an F15 with tyre pressure monitoring, I've decided to simply sell them as they are. The high cost of four valves + monitoring sensors is one factor and obtaining spigots to adapt the hubs is the other. The advert is i...

Re: Will winter wheels from E70 rims fit 2018 F15 hubs?

Thanks Stephen, I hadn't thought about changing the valves - they valves are different as the F15 does indeed have a more complex pressure monitoring system than the E70. The cost of them and fitting flared arches on the rear is leading me to an alternative solution - have winter tyres fitted to the...
