Re: Picked up a spare set of wheels

[quote="Don Coffey"] [quote="Alanmc"] No just planning on using these as they have four Bridgestone tyres with the lowest having 5mm of tread. Being that they're second hand there's a couple of marks on them so I'll use them when the salt starts going on the roads and they can take the stone chips ...

X5 and its German cousin

Quick picture of my x5 alongside my mates 997 turbo. The turbo is amazingly quick especially now we have tuned it and it runs 560 bhp

Picked up a spare set of wheels

As per Title managed to pic myself up a set of spare wheels for winter use. All four have good tyres as well so they should keep my new tyres good as well.

Re: Repairable?

Wouldn't think so, puncture repairs can only be on the centre three quarters and that looks right at the edge. Expensive nail by the looks of it unfortunately  :(

[quote="AW8"]
Car sounds like a right old nail....I reckon you should do a straight swap for my 2002 E53. ;)

Re: X5 now collected after terrible sales service

[quote="SMOKEY"] It sounds like, aside from the stuffing around with the documents, that they have made it right though? Now you can get the car in A1 condition and to a standard you're happy with, remember you're getting the other blemishes fixed on their dime. I reckon, aside from the ...

X5 now collected after terrible sales service

Found my car on the Internet at Harry Fairbairn Bmw Inverness. As we are in central Scotland I didn't fancy a four hour drive up to get the car when there's a Glasgow branch less than an hour away. We go to the giffnock branch of harry fairbairn and do the deal to order our car without even seeing ...
