Any possible ...

Re: Winter wheels fitted now bring on the snow!!
Wheels where Bought from a forum member near Blackburn. They are e70 wheels with spigots to correct the bore size. I got them at a bargain price considering they have 8mm tread left and wheels have no major marks. I have been watching sets on eBay with half this tread depth go for more than I paid ...

Winter wheels fitted now bring on the snow!!
Well bought myself some 18"winter wheels on toyo A/T open country rubber. This will be the first time I have specifically used winter wheels and I am looking forward to seeing just how much difference they will make. The x5 usually sits on 20" Le Mans staggered so it was pretty obvious that those ...

Re: New member advice needed!!
I am new to these motors myself and have just bought 30.d and I am currently getting 25-26 mpg on every day running around( I am yet do do any motorway driving) so with that in mind I reckon the petrol will be one thirsty beast.
