Re: Battery Condition?

My battery is 5 years old now and I want to change it.
BMW quoted me £238.16 for the BMW AGM 90Ah 61216924023

First of all (I have noticed that there are very knowledgeable people on the forum) I need to decide on technology:

GEL vs AGM? what would be better for a E53 2005 reg diesel with plans ...

Re: E70 wheels

Does anyone noticed that E70 wheels are about 5 (five!!!!) kg heavier each, than E53 wheels? how is it going to affect my suspension?

Re: E70 wheels

thank you, will order some too for my 20"...

if you do not mind can you say did you buy yours, as this would be one more positive feedback in my opinion for that particular seller (you know one cannot trust every single seller on the net these days)...

Many thanks!

Re: E70 wheels

I am also inclined to try plastic as they seem to be 3 times cheaper and are not prone to weld to the the hub...are you using plastic? for how long? what size rims?

the grease question was for the metal ones...

thanks for your reply.

Re: E70 wheels

Do I need to put any grease?? (or what) between the spigot ring and the hub? Will they not stick together after lets say 6 months of running?

Also, what are the pros and cons of aluminum rings vs plastic ones?

Please respond, as I need to buy the rings asap...

Many thanks!
