X5 e53.

Hello everyone.
I’m after another X5 :driving: preferably up to 55 plate (tax purposes)
Would have another 4.4L but consider 3.0 litre diesels as well.
Budget 4500 or so.
Thank you!

Re: Cleaned Running Boards

really good result but theres easier way as well! most car wash places use hydrochloric acid or alibrite to clean alloys from brake dust. put a bit on the towel and rub with it and after rinse with water and you get pretty much same result but yeah good job!! ;) http://i57.tinypic.com/25ixlhl.png ...

Re: Help! Transmission Fault, gear won't engage

[quote="X5Sport"] These cars are overly sensitive to low battery volts and the transmission error was very common on the E53 version when the battery wasn't 100%. Richard [/quote] I totally agree with voltage issue. My X5 did it a same thing few times over 3 weeks and result was alternator failure ...
