I saw that pic of the porsche with the wings chopped, 9k for a headlight is insane and those cars will be impossible to insure soon.

The general tyres don't look to have the super aggressive tread pattern I was expecting .More important is tread depth difference front to rear, anymore than 2mm is said to cause issues. If its jumping bad as you say there should be a code for the transfer box which is due to chain slack .Some have ...

I removed the wing to access mine when the filter was blocked , luckily I checked all 3 pumps as they were all the same on my e70 , it worked great for a good few months till I parked it up last year now every time you fill it a day later the tank is empty again :rofl: , looks like I will have to go...

I'd check your tyre pressures and set them correctly as a start, on mine 2009 you reset it and it asks you if pressures are correct then it says you need to drive for it to activate monitoring.
As it uses abs if there is an active code it won't work as said.

Happy Christmas folks

I don't have or know much about carly but there may be a smooth running test on there which is what you want and would give you readings like I said above to compare the 6 injectors :thumbsup: maybe the underlying reason it spun the bearings originally is still there as it seems you have replaced pr...

They would need to be massively out to cause that problem or one is stuck open or something and it to be running like a bag of spanners and id expect black some if it was over fueling. Hoe far out does it say they are range is usually -5 to +4 with anything over +2 needs replaced . Did it run fine w...

Sounds like a turbo is on its last legs you usually get smoking as soon as you give it the gas, usually a grey/blue in colour , are you using a lot of oil now or is that sorted ? The dpf would have have disguised the oil smoke out the exhaust until it was drowning in the stuff but its disconnected n...

Wonder how the last owner was using it to have those tyres on sounds like its been used as a proper land rover

Good result

Those codes are for egr by look of it see below,wear in egr valve

You really need to be servicing these no later than every 10k if its out of warranty ,if its under warranty and bmw will pick up the tab then who cares .The m57 was certainly the peak of x5 reliability its went badly downhill since then it seems :headbang: maybe they were lasting too long ? :poke: I...

Spun bearings mostly x police cars was it not, a lot were sold to the public before the issues were caught on of these cars idling for hours then flat to the mat with diluted oil and long service intervals. Any approved oil will be grand, if its going to fail it will fail regardless as the damage ha...

I thought all e70s had xenons as standard , adaptive was extra

You can just replace the bad one no worries ,6 new ones would write most cars off problem with common rail is its one out all out it won't really tolerate it as it drops pressure to the rest.
