Argh, this has just started happening on my x5 e70 4.0d. I'm trying to fix the issue so I don't give me neighbours a night of pain. Does anybody know where it is located? Can it just be unplugged to stop it from triggering the alarm?


Many many thanks in advance!

Looks a big task... And he seems far more compent than I am. Still, has to be worth a go, right?!

Great, is there a guide anywhere? I had a look in the how to section on here but couldn't find anything

Thanks

Has anybody actually done this? If so, how was it done? What's needed?

If I was to purchase parts from say a breakers is it easy to fit (new hinges, control module etc) and then code up?

I've seen there was an old post on this but it didn't get many replies.

Cheers

... for a full remap... looking to get both extra BHP and MPG. Currently getting 27.7 mpg which is a fairly good indication I feel since I do a good combination of driving, and this also includes 2 x 210 mile trips between London to York. After a few weeks driving I'll post the report on this thread ...

I used to have a Citroen ZX volcane that did this! Start it up, drive, take key out and engine would still run and run. You used to have to put the key back in to stop it.

It's got the pan roof and heated steering wheel. Hasn't got 7 seats mind!

The wheels are a grower I think. They look better in the flesh.

Should add its a 4.0d x5 2011. Thanks

Hi Jason, I'm after extra bhp and additional mpg. What would you advise? Thanks

Here's the winter wheels

Some of the spec off the top of my head is : 4.0d 2011, 29k miles 22" Revere wheels Full tints Rear cameras Side cameras DAB Factory rear entertainment Front TV Individual audio Soft close doors Comfort access Comfort start Panoramic sunroof Head up display Deep blue interior with white piping 4 way ...

Yea they are 22" Revere wheels. I've still got the factory wheels, which are now gloss black and for winter use. I've had the tints done, although it did have the rears factory - I just wanted them a little darker! 

After reading a few reviews and looking at a few sites it seems there's various remaps available. I understand BW chiptune get quite a lot of endorsement, how do they compare against other remaps? I'm also after getting additional mpg as well as a little extra hp... Any suggestions or experience ...

Hope this pic works!

New X5 owner here, just thought I'd say hi!

I've just bought an 11 plate 4.0d x5. Seems to have almost everything spec wise but already planning a few subtle modifications (remap, smoked rear lenses etc). Will try to post some pics!

Will try contribute on here as much as I can.
