FS: E70 X5 Winter Wheels and Tyre set

I have 4x BMW Genuine Alloy Wheel 19" Y-Spoke 211 (Part No: 36116772244). Each is fitted with 255/50RF19 107VXL Goodyear Ultra Grip run flat tyres. They fit all 2007-date E70 X5s except the X5M. I used them for two winters, covering only around 4,000 miles in total. As you can see in the photos they ...

Re: Which 7 seater, opinions please?

[quote="Chompers"] S-Max has to be the way to go IMHO even more so if it's for the girlfriend to drive most of the time. The others are just too big for every day kiddy use like shopping, school runs and the such + he'll save £10k+ :)) I would also add that the S-Max is much easier for kids/adults ...

Re: Lawnmower advice

I haven't dismissed a Honda - I'm leaving this house in a box and as I'm only 34 I want something that'll last for years and years. Average out the cost over that timescale and its not really that expensive. Just don't want to spent that amount if I'd be better off buying something cheaper but just ...

Lawnmower advice

Right folks, new house has a rather large lawn so need some lawnmower advice. I currently have the smallest self propelled Honda IZY but just doesn't have the width needed - only 13"!!!! Looking for a 20-24" cutting width I reckon. Anyone got any recommendations? I do like my current Honda but the ...

Re: Strange sound from front of car

Got the power steering recall work done yesterday and seems to have stopped the noise. From what you lot know of the recall could it have caused the noise I described?

Re: Hello and Question from a Newbie - E70 3.0d or 4.0d M sport??

[quote="X5Sport"] Good point on the runflats. 19" wheels give a gentler ride than 20" or 21" wheels. 19" wheels are standard but a lot if owners spec the 20's. I have a set of 19" & 20" and the 19's are much more comfortable a ride. Richard [/quote]+1 Much much more comfortable!

Strange sound from front of car

Sounds like the noise the power steering used to make on the first gen BMW Mini.... Continually cycles between high and lower pitch but only when aircon fan is on. Any ideas folks?
