Re: Hello

Easiest way i find is to look at the front indicators first as, unless they've been changed, they're orange pre facelift and white after.
I found this handy when looking on Autotrader etc as it was easiest to see on the small pics.

Re: Which tablet??

The ipad mini has just dropped online at Currys PC World to £219. You have to order online though for either collection or delivery.
I have just took back the Asus i bought earlier in the thread and swapped it.

Re: Summer webasto noise????

No it didn't throw up any codes. I left it unplugged for a week or so then plugged it back in and the fault never reoccurred.

Re: Which 7 seater, opinions please?

Well he couldn't get away with the seats in the Mitsubishi (although i think he just wanted an X5 really) so he ended up with a 3.0d Msport on a 61plate.

Re: Which tablet??

Hi, i am by no means a computer buff, but i have just been down this road looking for a tablet for the kids. They use my iPad all the time but the high price of Apple products got me looking elsewhere. If you are looking at a a Nexus 7, i would certainly consider an Asus memo pad HD 7. Asus made the ...

Re: Trunk lid right side not locking

Mine was exactly the same, i got into the habit of giving the right hand side an extra shove home after i had shut it.
When i sold it i explained to the new owner, who had had one before, and he said that his old one was also the same.
So going off this It may be a common issue.

Roof bars

Hi does anybody know if the BMW roof bars for an E53 will fit an E70? I'm sure that you can adjust them slightly lengthwise and am assuming that the roof rails are the same profile.
While we are on it, i dont suppose anybody knows if the fabric dog guard/luggage net fits an E70 either?
Thanks.

2006 x5 3.0L D low mpg

Regarding the blue smoke on start up I asked that on here before and was told that it's down to the electronics over fuelling on purpose at start up, and is perfectly normal.
Edit- thinking about it I have reread the comment and mine was just a puff of smoke on start up not 2-3secs.

X5 sadly now sold!

As per the title really, I sold my 3.0D a week and a half ago which was a real shame, but needs must and that's life I suppose. Anyway it's gone to a guy down south who used to own one nearly identical and realised he wanted another. He caught the train up to collect it and I am in no doubt he will ...

Hmmm interesting mod.

I walked past this today and felt it would be rude not to share. Seems that money cant buy taste.
