Check your earth points, also especially check the power point used for jump starting. Get a spanner on that and pull it up as much as possible. It feeds power to starter from the battery, grease it aswell! I had very similar issues to you, put a new starter in, same problem, turned out it was loose ...

[quote="Domowilko"] looks like the DPF is clogged up to high heaven and a forced regen will not sort. Does anyone know how many times a dpf can be sent off for cleaning and any recommendations in the Stoke on Trent area for a quality clean. I am unsure to why it can be so clogged when it was cleaned ...

retrofit com box would do the trick I think. Would enable bluetooth streaming, apps, browser etc

just fit a kufatec bluetooth unit to ccc if you end up in a pre lci without cic.  They make superb bluetooth units which integrate and mimic original bluetooth but allow streaming etc.

Id say nothing wrong with that personally. If anything thats good if they have been on since 2013. X5's are notorious for shredding rear tyres due to the camber they run to make them behave like a car. I would just replace and come off run flat crap! bloody awful tyres, I had more punctures on run ...

My father has had two now. A stunning black 08 plate 730d sport e65, and an 09 plate 730d se, the e65 100% was the better drive of the two, and I used it a few times. Didnt feel overly big for town etc ( I had e70 X5 at the time ). Lovely cars, can only recommend!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

normally its the bluetooth module that causes issues.  Try taking that out of the loop.
