Re: X5 E70 Late 2007 completely dead, no electronic sign of life

Possible the battery is being charged to high when the car is running eg. 14.8-15 volts could that have caused the car to have died?

Re: E70 Velour Mats

[quote="AHG21"] I got some from car mats direct from eBay get the premium set there pretty good and fit well. Hope this helps.

E70 Velour Mats

Hello,

I need some decent quality car mats, I don't want the rubber ones though. I am struggling to find E70 Anthracite Velour mats to order online, Can anybody recommend good alternatives? There are a lot of cheap ones for sale, but don't look anywhere near the same quality as genuine ones.

Thanks

Re: Anyone got an Andrive Headunit for their X5??

Thanks for the warning about the cheaper mimi, going to give that one a miss. I will go for an Andrive unit for sure, just need to wait for them to have a sale on, hopefully sometime soon.
