I have a 2009 E70 35D which has just hit 90k miles and recently it has started to screech when the engine is cold. It seems to happen when the turbo kicks in as if I keep the revs low enough with minimal load on the engine, the noise doesn't happen. Once the engine starts to warm up ...
I'd be interested to know more too. I also have Duellers on at the minute and will very sooon need a set of rears.
Was there much price diifference from the run flats? I swapped the RFTs off the wife's Z4 and it made it a much more driveable car with a far better ride. Also saved a few quid too ...

The car does indeed have the sunroof so I'll make sure I give it a proper test. The car is from a main dealer so I'm hopeful that the AUC ...
Greetings all, I stumbled across this forum today after reading various posts on Pistonheads saying how great you guys all are so I thought I'd better sign up. My wife currently drives a 2012 X1 2.0 Xdrive M Sport and I am in the process of negotiating on a 2009 X5 35D M sport so it looks like I ...
