X5 e53.
Hello everyone.
I’m after another X5 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 ...

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 ...
