Diamond cut alloys - advice please!

Hi Everyone, Hope you are all well. Currently in process of selling my RR Sport so I can go back to an X5. The alloys on my Sport are diamond cut however need a refurb. I was under the impression this would be hugely expensive in comparison to 'normal' alloys. So was surprised to be told although ...

Re: Deal agreed on 'new' X5

Cheers mate. Must admit I bought the car as the deal was too good to turn down. It drove like an absolute beast on the way back from Brighton. Once I got back to Solihull I stopped at a zebra crossing and a complete random gave me the thumbs up and shouted 'Top motor son!' Mmhhhh....has to be the ...

Deal agreed on 'new' X5

So pick up new (to me) X5 on Thursday after being messed about by a number of other sellers. I just don't understand cretins who make you travel hundreds of miles to see cars described as 'immaculate' when they are absolute crap. There's one on eBay right now. Beautiful carbon black - 2008 - with ...

Re: Audio Streaming

[quote="kjb1"] [quote="Shez1878"] Thanks mate! Thats certainly a very cheap option and good as a plan B. Ideally I was looking a bit more 'professional' and with less wires etc. etc?

Re: Audio Streaming

Thanks chaps. Could I just get a parrot system purely for the streaming? I would want to use the BMW system for calls etc?

Audio Streaming

Afternoon All! Hope you are well. Sooooooo I have sold my BMW 730D and am in the process of purchasing a 2008 BMW X5 M-sport. It has most extras however does not have audio streaming (from your iphone for example). What is the most cost effective way to achieve this on an E70? By complete accident I ...

BMW 730D sold...on lookout for BMW X5 however have a question

Evening All,

Sold my rather stunning BMW 730D and now looking for an X5 however proving a real challenge as my budget is 18k and I need a low mileage vehicle with a reversing camera.

Practically impossible so far so question is, how much would it cost to get a reversing camera retrofitted?

Cheers

Re: Are cheap tyres really that crap?

Had this debate a while back. Had 4 x Kumho's on my E70 and they've been brilliant.

Cost £600 all in.
