[quote="X5Sport"] [quote="RRH"]Seriously considering an X6 next time though. [/quote] They just frighten everybody!  I followed mine home the other night (wife drives it mostly) and it looks huge!  Serious road presence. 8) [/quote] Thats one thing that I always loved about X6s, ...

I have 19" X5 winter wheels and tyres on my X6.
They are a square setup running 255/50/19 front and back.
The rears as already said need spigot rings

Mine has self levelling suspension, is that different from air suspension at the rear?

Snow is forecast for tomorrow so when I got home earlier I changed the 20" wheels to 19" winter wheels with Bridgestone Blizzak tyres. Total time taken to change all 4 wheels.... 25 minutes which included bringing out and putting away the wheels. To be honest the ride is not that much diff...

Thanks, will have a go at freeing it off a bit.
It sounds like it is sticking, tried locking and unlocking with the flap open and the locking pin doesnt come out smoothly, but it seems different every time.
$59 probably works out about £70

Anybody know if this can be serviced at all? The lock for the fuel flap when locking the car is quite noisy. It seems it is struggling to lock and makes quite a racket. Can this be removed and freed off before it is broken completely or is it best just to replace it? Any idea what this part is calle...

I think next year I will build a bunker to store them in out of decking boards. Should be able to build it for a lot less than £160 and I will change the wheels myse...

Not sure how good these are but I found them while browsing the net.

I wasnt sure what to expect but it is very handy.
I sometimes forget it is there and still look at the speedo as its not in your face.
Excellent for satnav directions and speed limit display

Admittedly pics are not from today. Its been great so far covering 5000 miles already effortlessly. Only have one problem and thats the oil level reading too high. Its been checked over with an oil change carried out and the garage says the sensor is faulty or it needs a software update. He doesnt w...
