Re: undercarridge protection bull bar

Sanj, got what? the bull bar or the 535?

I know it was a looker, which has made the part more harder, but had to let the head rule and not the heart!!

Re: undercarridge protection bull bar

Shadrack, When I pick the car up and if it's still at the dealers, I'll measure the diameter of the bar if you want?

Re: undercarridge protection bull bar

Hi All! Well it's been a traumatic last few months, with endless electrical problems. Sat nab not turning off, not working, injected warnings after replacement of the injectors, multiple battery draining which they eventually said was a A/C module not powering down, loss of Tv function, and over das...

If only I had the £££ to change!! You know what rusty nail, I was thinking the same about the styling, though I do like the rear light sections! X5sport, your not wrong about the 8 speed box, it is simply sublime, just like the felling when I had the new 5 series. Looking forward to giving it a b...

Re: Wing mirror lights change to LED lighting

If so what are the replacement LED's? I'm also going to do the lights on the front doors. Not sure about th...

Smashed X5 :o(

Seems to be a bad omen at the moment! After getting her back it's only been a month, and someone last week hit the front bumper in a car park £1000 worth of damage, then this week someone crashed into the back of me causing £3000 worth of damage. Then this weekend some ba**ard keyed the front wing...

Re: New E53 3.0d owner - some questions

Welcome Bargain Bucket :D

The LED's on the front in mine are a lot dimer than the backs, as you can see the handles in the back in the dark, but not in the front, Wonder how easy it is to change to a brighter LED?

Re: Atturo Tyres?

Well after driving to Kent and back, and in heavy rain, I had no issues at all. I pushed her in corners, in and out of, accelerated hard from a standstill in the wet, and she never skipped a beat. Obviously, I haven't had other leading brand tyres to test it against, but also I cannot find an issues...

Re: BMW X1 will be assembled and sold in Russia

I can't really see what difference it makes where BMW build a factory, surely it'll be the same factory spec wether it sat in a building in Germany or Russia?

Re: Atturo Tyres?

I know what you mean! I remember when Toyo first hit these shores, and people where avoiding them, as they'd never heard of them, now look, Toyo is a well known brand now. I did a search on the US outpost forum, and they've been having a discussion on there about these also. Guy who rode on them sai...
