Yes saw your car for sale, very nice! Although my wife really likes white, I'm not so keen unfortunately but thanks for mentioning. Also, am I right in thinking that it doesn't have heated seats (despite loads of other, more expensive  options)

Thanks for the reply and the info. 1 Does the trim option also dictate the placement of the front fogs - have thought I'd got it sussed by looking for lower mounted fogs but then noticed some 'LCI ' advertised cars had higher mounted lights. Is this M-Tech and SE? 2 We had a 2008 130i (great fun ...

Hi All Had an E53 4.4 a few years ago and loved it apart from the fuel bills! I'm now keen to buy a (diesel!!) E70. I've been doing my homework and think that I would like an 'LCI' as I believe that this is the later engine with 8 speed box. May I just check that the above is correct, plus...... The ...

Thanks for the advice guys, much appreciated. My X5 has (touch wood) been pretty reliable so far and have only had pads replaced and brake fluid. If it stays I think I would probably get the Insp1 done by BMW to keep up the stamps but would probably get other bits done by indy. Not sure in what the ...

Hope that this isn't sacrilege to ask on here....! I've got an 02 4.4 Sport with 88k miles and FSH (BMW) Silver/Black Leather, heated seats and upgraded to DVD sat nav. It has one green light still showing (but soon to go) before an Insp 1 is due. It is also groaning from the rear which I think ...

Hi all, would like to pick your brains again please! My 02/52 4.4 Sport (87k mls FBMWSH) makes a groaning/creaking noise from the back, particulary when pulling away from a standstill. I seem to remember from the old site that there was a known issue about rear bushes but I can't seem to find ...

Can't help with the alarm I'm afraid but I had a similar problem with my CD changer. I think that something wears out on them and needs to be replaced. I think that there are kits around to replace the faulty bits but I just bought a new one off eBay and fitted it myself (really easy - just a few ...

Thanks guys that's really helpful.

Condor, does that mean that the 202 Wheels would fit also?

Will get a photo up when the new ones are on!

Hi all, I've used the search but can't seem to find anything about upgrading to "facelift" alloys. I have a pre-facelift 4.4 Sport and wanted to check if I can just bolt on the facelift sport alloys?

Apologies if I haven't searched thoroughly enough but would appreciate any advice!

Thanks

Hi Phil This looks really good - I upgraded to a Mk 4 sat nav on my car last year and have been planning to add a Parrott hands free kit. If the tv in motion unit does what I think it does (i.e. I've read it correctly!) then I wouldn't need the Parrott and could sell the Mk4 DVD which would offset ...

Thanks Phil and Turks, will have a go over the weekend and hopefully will be able to see out of the back window again by Monday

Would be grateful for any advice - my rear wiper only wipes part of the rear screen and has been getting progessively worse over the last year. It seems as if the wiper blade is not making contact with the screen through most of its arc. Found a post on another site detailing the same problem and ...

Just found details of this site from bmwland and really pleased that I have. Had not been a member of the old site for that long when....arghhhhh! I'm sure that the advice on here will be as good as on the old one and hope to find some answers about my 02 4.4 Sport !!
