E53 Custom handmade wooden 7’’ bass unit
For sale is this gorgeous custom handmade wooden bass unit for fitment behind the OSR boot panel for E53. I bought this from a member on this forum, who made these himself, but I never got round to fitting it in mine. I’m looking for £150 plus P&P, but would consider a sensible offer. It’s currently ...

Hello again, long time no post
Hi again everyone, I was active member on this forum with my E53 about 10 years ago but kinda faded away. Since then I’ve owned a Sapphire Black E70 3.0d for a few years, and now, for last 18 months an F25 Alpina XD3 Bi-turbo, also in Sapphire black. I’m clearing out my late father-in-law’s house and ...

Hidden/special features - codable features
Hi guyz, After 13 years with an E53 3.0d, I just bought a 2012 E70 3.0d, so I'm not really familiar with all things. I'm looking to find out if there are any hidden/special features on the car, and also what things can be re-coded to make it more pleasant. Could anybody give me a list of things I ...

Re: Electrics? problem on 3.0d
I did wonder about that thxvm.
However, in Lux we actually have NO breakers yards at all, so looks like I'll be going to Germany as I live on that side

There is no rhyme or reason for when they stop, just happens. Sometimes it comes back working for couple ...

Re: E53 or E70, which one?
[quote="X5Sport"] If it’s a 40d with the 8sp box then you should have 600Nm on tap already. I think the box can take a maximum 700Nm. ECUs have to be removed from the car to be remapped due to the way BMW have locked them, but Jason can advise if you send him a PM :) [/quote] It's the single turbo 3. ...

Re: E53 or E70, which one?
[quote="Waka"] Replying to agree with dgms's points - do it! You might find the E70s a bit underpowered compared to your E53. I did when I moved from my mapped E53 even to the 40d...although m/s mode is fun ;) Also to add, wow that's strong money for a high mileage E53! I think UK prices for second ...

E53 or E70, which one?
I'm in a position where someone wants to buy my E53 3.0d and I have a choice of 2 E70 3.0d's with 245PS and I'm in dilemma as to whether to change. We've had the E53 nearly 10 years, re-mapped it when bought it to 272PS / 525NM and done 275,000KM of untroubled time in it, but it's still a great car ...
