Hi
I have a new F15 with the 7 seat option. I've not used them yet (they've not even been pulled up from the boot floor). Can I check anything for you to see if my build differs from yours?

Hi
Two questions rolled into one here.....is anyone aware of a way in which the default setting for stop/start is automatically 'Off' and for the auto-wiper function, automatically on? (which is the exact reverse of how it currently works in my car!!!)

By automatically, I mean when you get in the ...

When I have TP activated, any Traffic Announcement comes through at such at high volume its downright dangerous!!

I have checked the manual, and I turn the volume down whilst the Traffic broadcast is underway but sure enough, next time I am in the car in 'resets' itself to what appears to be a ...

Thanks for your replies.....

Jonniivy.....reassuring to know I am not the only one who noticed this.....!

I'm going to specifically listen out for it in future (temp dependant obviously!) to see if if decides to run again.....although I am going to draw a line at removing and fitting the tow bar ...

Fitted a westfalia towbar today using the excellent 'how to article' by Urbanflow.

After finishing this evening I started the car up to put it in the garage. Immediately I noticed a ticking noise coming from the front passenger area and a ' turbine like' noise from under the bonnet. Strange ...

There is a BMW/Mercedes specialist out at Lydiard Millicent called PC Autocare who I have used a few times - but for general servicing and minor repairs. I've found them to be very knowledgeable and they certainly care about the job they do...

Excellent article - many thanks! Used it to change the air filter on my 2005 E53 3.0D today. Followed these instructions step by step - and no problems at all. Even the bolt at the very back came out/went in without problem. Also changed the breather assembly using Bazzyboys article. So - an ...

Bazzyboy - just wanted to say thanks for posting this excellent how to. I did my breather assembly today on my 2005 (September) 3.0d X5 - and it had the old style housing and filter. Replaced it with the modified version supplied by my local BMW dealer. All went very well - just took my time :-) I ...

Fitted this exact same battery yesterday.
Bought from carbatteriesonline.co.uk for £94.50 delivered.
No problems at all fitting.
Under the spare wheel you will find a 'dome' covering the battery - all you need to do is undo the bolts of the frame of the dome and lift back and out of the way..rather ...

Hi

About to do a home oil-change on the X5 (3.0 Diesel)- and was wondering if anyone knows what the BMW recommended torque setting is for 1) the oil sump drain plug and 2) the oil filter housing.

Many thanks!

Superb - thank-you.

Look forward to using your guide this weekend - and at long last my X5 losing the French connection!

Just a thought...whereabouts are you? Perhaps we could do this together in one go? I am based near Swindon, Wilts.

Hi Penny
That's really kind - thanks. I've googled Navcoder and see you can download it...so that's that solved! So yes, I would like to borrow your resler please. I'll send you a PM...

Hi blo2was

I have exactly the same issue......and am also away the date of the meet unfortunately.....

I've looked to buy a resler tonight but is showing out of stock....so may have to wait for another meet and hopefully a kind xdriver to stop the camera warning ringing in my ears or having to ...

[quote=""Dan1502""]You didn't happen to buy that at auction recently did you? Is it Le Mans Blue? The reason I ask is that BMW finance were having a big auction a week ago and I noticed one with that mileage and was tempted to go but mine came up in the meantime.[/quote]

Hi, no...didn't buy it at ...
