Re: Rear headrests

How different might other similar car headrests be? I mean is it worth checking the size of 5 and 7 series headrests to see if they might fit then expand your search. Provided same leather finish who is going to know?

Re: Scratched black bumper plastics repair

That looks great. My wife's rear bumper has a dimple  and some scratches where a previous owner has reversed into something so I think Ill get some of this to have a go.  Thanks!  8)

Kind regards

Anyone have Thule roof bars for their E70 SE?

I need to buy a pair of square bars for my X5 SE (it has the raised bars with a gap between the bar and bodywork) compared with the Sport model which I believe has flush fitting bars.

Re: BMW X5 E70 19" wheels

I am interested.
How much are you now looking for these?

Where about in Cumbria are you? I am in Fife. 

Are you ARL10 in BMWLand?  I have been a member on there for a while, only just joined up here as I got the wife an X5.

Regards
Ian
