Bought the arnott one in the end and it was 1 hour labour to get sorted. Not so bad in the end.

Thanks, I'll have a look and weight up costs for doing both.

Hi, My 3.0d has been sinking on the rear a bit overnight but was never that bad, however it has now gotten worse and you can hear it hissing with the engine off. Found the part number on realoem (37126750356) but can't seem to find a place for a none BMW option - any ideas? Ebay comes up with a ...

Hi all,

Mine seems to be loose as it comes and goes - goes more often than not but if you hit the lens it sometimes comes back. Only info I can find online suggest it is a whole lens out job?! Is there no rear access? Surely halfords could handle this part of thee £5 fitting service:)?

Thanks

Hi All, Not a regular poster on here but a regular on many other BMW forums. Spoke to AW8 before putting this add up as don't want to break any rules. Have my original set of 20"s for sale after upgrading (downgrading?) to a set of facelift 19s. Not sure what they are worth so I'll link to my ebay ...

Actually looks like a 20mm would do it. Hmm

Style 168. http://www.bmwstylewheels.com/bmw/168

Standard figment on the 4.6is and 4.8is I believe?

Was thinking that but they would need to 18+mm to make much of a difference and then I'll be looking at bolt on jobbies.

Hi,

On the back of this topic - http://xdrivers.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,9175.0.html I have decided to sell my OEM 20s. No clue what they are worth or change hands for, any advice appreciated.

Thanks

Update:

Swapped to 19s with oem size tyres and the ride difference is very very noticeable. Offset and overall look is a bit crap compared to the OEM 20's, especially as I have the extended arches, but I'll take the ride quality over looks.

Thanks. Is that #2?

I'll have to check that out when I get it on the ramp.

[quote="Raj"] The lower swing arm bushes aren't replaceable so it is a new one. BUT they are like £350 each from the dealers…. :o I'd recommend getting a secondhand one with fair condition bushes still in there. I was only talking to Jason about this earlier today and he said that generally they don' ...

Hi, Having taken the car in for an alignment it looks like the rear inner bushes are on their way out. Does anybody know if you can replace these or is it a whole new wishbone? In the below it would be #16 that needs replacing, maybe also #18. Thanks http://www.realoem.com/bmw/diagrams/q/e/230.png

Thanks both.

Currently running Bridgestone dueler H/P Sport with the sport suspension (sport edition - assume it is the same stuff?). It just feels like there isn't enough compliance in the tyres, the car rides bumps OK but expansion joints, pot holes, and any ridges are very jarring.

I believe it is number 19 on this image
