Air suspension pump knackered on e70 3.0d.... are there any recommended replace?

As above, the pumps gone for my rear suspension and bmw want £1k for a new one. I’ve seen one online that says it’s made by AMK who make them for bmw. Anyone used One before? £300 for this one. https://ukairsuspension.com/en/home/77-bmw-x5-e70-x6-e71-amk-arnott-air-suspension-compressor-dryer-assem ...

Re: Rear diff gone. Anyone know where I can get one?

The wheels are standard Y spoke 20s, the tyres are Toyo proxes suv tyres and the rears were done roughly 8 months ago with the matching fronts done around 4 months ago. No idea why it's happened, the wife said it felt like the car wheel span then just came to a stop. The mechanic says it feels like ...

Rear diff gone. Anyone know where I can get one?

As above, the rear diff on my 2007 3.0d X5 has broken does anyone know any breakers to try? I've rang all the the first few from a Google search, emailed everyone breaking an x5 on eBay and filled in the online forms for "breakers yard" "247 spares" and "parts gateway" who ask a network of breakers ...

Reverse light upgrade, what bulbs?

Has anyone upgraded their reverse lights?
If so which bulbs did you use?

Will these fit?
At 825 lumens they should be very bright!

Re: What's your model, year and average mpg?

Sounds like mine may have a problem then! Mines an 07 7 seater, the missus uses it 4 days a week to go to the shops and spend my money, I use it twice a week to go out in and drive it like an old man. There's no enthusiastic driving. It does around 20mpg around town when I drive, 18 when she drives ...

Re: Is there any way of improving the reverse lights and camera?

I've got the led number plate lights. They light up the floor by the back of my car brilliantly but I dont know if they help the camera. I think some better reverse lights will help, possibly a higher resolution camera. Don't suppose anyone knows what camera they are so I can see if I can find a ...

Is there any way of improving the reverse lights and camera?

As above, I have a pre lci car and the reverse lights are nearly non existent. Are there better bulbs? Leds? Available? Which ones have you used and seen an improvement on? Also I have a factory fitted reversing camera and again, at night it's pretty useless, is there a way of improving this too ...

Re: First time BMW owner - 2 days in

Good morning, yes the mirrors can be coded to fold on lock but you have to hold the button for about 3 seconds until they start to fold. Most in dependant garages can do it for you, or anyone that offers ecu coding. I've had a few bits of coding done to mine. Google bmw coding, there's a website ...

Re: Poor washer jets

Thanks, I will look into it and try cleaning the filters.
The headlights and rear washers seem fine, just the windscreen washer jets that are the worst.

Re: SE or MSport?

I went for an SE but one with lots and lots of options taking it above the spec of most of the sports I looked at. The main reason I chose an se is because I wanted the car to be a big comfy cruiser not a sporty car. If you want a sports car don't buy a 2.5 tonne truck lol. I didn't want sports ...

Poor washer jets

Does anyone else suffer with this? My washer jet spray just reaches above the wipers in the park position, so as soon as they move they are wiping a dry screen, the passenger side is particularly bad. Any ideas how to fix this? I've looked at the washer bottle and it seems a right pain to get to ...

Re: Plastic arch rivets..... Which ones?

Thanks mate,
Are the larger ones the same style?

The flange on the ones above are 20mm, any idea what the others are?
And how many of each?

Thank you
