Re: Bits and bobs for sale, winter 18's, dog guard, diff oil, H&R spacers

[quote="XDRIVER86"]
Sorry I’d rather keep them with the wheels. Think they are only about £20 new off eBay.
[/quote]
No problem, had to ask.
I only need 2 for the rears on the X6.

Re: Bits and bobs for sale, winter 18's, dog guard, diff oil, H&R spacers

Im interested in the alloy spigots.
Are you willing to sell these seperately?
If so how much including postage?

Re: Electric handbrake issues

I use B for BMW in Clydebank and have not had any problems with them.
I dont know exactly what issue you have with the e-brake but we had an issue with our Z4 e-brake that was fixed with a battery replacement and a software update. This is quite a common problem with the Z4.

Re: Argh! Tyres!

I am not a fan of runflats and removed them from our Z4 early in our ownership. But in the X6/X5 it just seems to make sense to have them. One thing is that there is not the huge amount of money to be saved by buying non-runflats that you can save on smaller tyre sizes. The other is the safety side ...

Re: X5 tax help

[quote="Spandex"] Not sure I understand the question. You say “across the e70 range”, but also say you’re looking at x5ms. The e70 x5m on any age will be £555 to tax. I think all the other petrols will be £540 - £555. Some diesels may fall into the £300ish bracket. [/quote] When we were lo...

Re: Reading texts aloud..

Off the top of my head I am sure I have done this in the X6.
Is there not a play option when the text is on the screen?

Re: 2009 - 2010 plate

[quote="X5Sport"] Correct.  White LED angel eyes are in the LCI, so that means a 40d if you want a twin turbo.  It’s a better car anyway and the 8sp box is superb. [/quote] Is it not newer cars than 2010s that have the whiter angel eyes? I thought it was closer to 2012. Our 2010 X6 40d did...

I have these exact wheels and tyres for our X6 and they were superb through the snow we had earlier in the year.

Re: 4.0d Steering Wheel Vibration at idle

Do you have lane departure warning on your car?
Could it be a fault with this?
