Hi Guys, PDC system isn't working on my 2005 X5 >:( When reverse is engaged the light is flashing on on centre console with a long constant beep.

Oil Question...

Hi guys,

On way home, stopped off at a local motor factors for an litre top up for the X.

I've put 1/4 litre in to just top it up but afterwards looked at the bottle, it's Castrol Edge Fst 5w-30.

Is this oil ok? - Fully Synthetic BMW LL04 standard apparently  :blink:

Thanks, Mark

Re: Navigation...is it worth it?

When I was looking for an x5 I ideally wanted one with the OE factory nav like yourself. In the end I bought a late facelift without the nav, just standard business headunit, mainly due to its condition, mileage and stamped service history. I'm currently looking into getting an Andrive or Eonon ...

Re: Newbie saying hello

Thanks for the warm welcome guys.

Will look into options for an after market system, would like to keep the oem 'ness where possible.

I've seen the Dynavin models online, but seems to be a mixed bag of reviews
