[quote="Ashway"] Sorry guys been away for the weekend without forum access. yep the 60mm refers to total axle i.e. 30mm per side. The normal summer wheels are the 333M shown on the attached http://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/bmw_alloy_wheels/x5_e70_alloys use the ET measurements for your existing ...

Excactely.
Manufacturers (like H&R) shows total extension. This is also why I have asked Ashway for confirmation whether the named 60mm is per side (as he is an individual) or total.

[quote="Raj"] [quote="JensM"] [quote="davyk31"] I was getting the same calcs and couldn't work out how he was running 60mm but its probably 30 each side as you guess. [/quote] And 60mm in each side - this is really a lot, think this could potentially put too much stretch on bearings etc. I hope we ...

[quote="Nessimmersion"] I use the towbar mounted Halfrauds 4 bike carrier, check the price in comparison to the rest!!!!!!! Excellent reviews on the MTB forums, I've had it for 2 x5s now, with no issues, about 6 mins to fit tow bar and 4 bikes. Another advantage of this type is you can stick it in ...

[quote="leosayer"] I put mine on the roof using an old Thule roof rack that I've had for years and used on my previous Audi A6. I needed to buy a single wider roof bar because the roof rails on the X5 were much further apart compared to the A6. It's a bit of a stretch to get them on the roof but it ...

[quote="X5Sport"] If you select the part number and google it, I got this as one hit. £565.01 + VAT!! Have you tried going into a Dealer and giving them the part numbers that you need? It might be possible to ship from the UK, but it might be expensive given the weight will likely be more than a few ...

[quote="X5Sport"] Or BMW do this bolt on rear version for non towbar equipped vehicles, one for with and one for without: Bolt on rear carrier If you put the last seven digits of you VIN into the 'serial number' field here in Realoem.com you'll find them under Universal Accessories for your version ...

They are excellent as the arm pulls down , you place the handle bars then the seat on them then the lift , lifts them onto the roof with no hassle , then you simply pull the straps over on the wheel ...

Hello forum. How do you carry bikes on your X5? I do not have a trailer hitch but the msport roof rails, but think the car is a bit high to carry 2 MTBs on the roof (?) On a us forum I saw back mounted rack identically to the ones using a hitch, but this one was bolted on the rear bumper via the ...

[quote="X5Sport"] Also check the inner water seal/barrier behind the door card as it might have come loose and if enough airflow is getting into the door it will flap the plastic perhaps? Does it disappear if you say tilt the sunroof, or open a wind just a fraction - either will change the air ...

[quote="JensM"] [quote="pvr"] Windscreen replacements are not recorded though if not done by BMW? Other parts to check are the door rubber and just to make sure - there is no cross bar on the roof, right? [/quote] Car is bought through BMW, only 12 mth old with very few km - doubt it have been ...
