Not sure this is still the cheapest or if they will do any more deals at the moment but here's who Imran, myself and at least 8 others used: WLMG Nissan Park Royal 0203 199 0592 Ask for Sales Manager, Saqib 'Sakeeb' Mention Imran or Tristan Leaf Tekna with met paint, velour mats, 3.3kw: 6k miles for ...

Hi guys I've been lurking in the background reading your leaf posts with great interest. I wasn't planning to replace the wife's golf gti just yet and would never had even considered an electric Datsun. The more I read the more It became apparent the leaf was a sensible 2nd car and just too cheap a ...

Top man, much appreciated

Have you managed to sort this? Mine have suffered the same treatment...

Yes H&C in Maidstone have a very good reputation: http://www.handcmotors.co.uk

Recently fitted a set of these from tyremen complete with wintrac xtreme S XL http://www.tyremen.co.uk/product/72035/19-kd008--bmw---x5-2007-(e70) Just back from a trip to the Alps, spent 12 hours driving through heavy snow yesterday. I was very impressed with their performance, they provided ...

Hi Guys, I've got a 2011 e70 8 speed with 25k on the clock would you recommend a gearbox oil change now? I've got a slight delay changing down from 2nd to 1st and when 1st is engaged a very slight thump - not Silky smooth as other changes anyway....

Hi Chris I experienced the same issue in my 8spd e70 and reset the gearbox using the procedure below which helped a lot. I still have a slight delay, less in sport mode. Worth a go if you haven't sorted the issue already. http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showthread.php?t=411543 Over time the ECU in ...

Congratulations Martin! Hope all is going well for you and the family, our 2nd was much easier than the 1st - hope that's the case for you too.
X5 makes for excellent family transport, feels very safe and secure, wished Id bought one earlier.
Best regards Tristan

Yes I think you're right, the delay is engaging 2nd not 1st. Have you / are considering remapping your 40d? I'm thinking this could make the power delivery smoother as the delay I'm told is reduced

Hi Richard, that's given me a thought - I'll try doing the same in sport mode and see what happens. Most common case this can occur is at the approach to a roundabout when almost coming to a stop then pulling away quickly. It's only a slightly jolt in the power delivery but I'm concerned I should ...

Evening Guys. Wondered if anyone else has experienced the same with their 8 speed e70.... If I'm slowing down to a near stop and then accelerate reasonably hard the auto box seems to delay the engage of gear (probably only a second) and then when it does engage it jolts slightly. Perfectly smooth ...

[quote="fonoq35"] Hi All New joiner here, and new to the world of BMW ( just moved from a TVR Tuscan/ Mazda 5 combo). I went up to Audiofile last weekend and they were really nice guys. The demo x5 was great, lovely clarity and some real thump to the bass if that's what you want. I'm deciding ...

[quote="535dboy"] Congrats The ride on the X5 did infuriate me sometimes but other times it wasn't as bad as I thought. Even my old man who is normally so quick to criticise my cars said it was ok!! I also don't think you will notice a real drop in performance in the real world. Have you told us the ...

[quote="535dboy"] Depending what you are used to you may not find it that bad ! [/quote] Success - I bought the car! Very impressed with Cotswold Cheltenham just a shame they're a 150 mile drive for me. Yes Mr 535 you're right, having driven to Cheltenham in a golf gti the x5 felt like a luxury ...
