[quote="TheHerd"] [quote="Richard137"] I've heard Jason is very good. [/quote] Yes, my first experience with Jason last month was very good. Attention to detail and he didn't just flash my X5 with a default map, he drove my car, pulled my software, analyzed it, applied a modified map and then drove ...

Re: Wanted E70 BMW bike Rack

Hi Titan
The Thule rack I have at the moment hinges forward to allow access to the boot, I belief from reading a couple of the American forums, that the towing eye mounted BMW rack has a similar arrangement/function.

Re: Wanted E70 BMW bike Rack

Hi Jagr
Yeah did see that one, but on further investigation, they are in Australia hence the £50 postage charge and no doubt a 3 week wait.  :)

Re: Wanted E70 BMW bike Rack

Hi Sid Thanks for your reply, my only issue with roof mounts are that we plan to use the X5 to travel through the Chunnel 2 or 3 times a year, they charge extra for roof mounted bikes, and you have to go in with the lorries, so I wanted to avoid it if I can. Also not sure how well it will work with ...

Re: Can a wheel bolt torque itself more

[quote="pvr"] [quote="Alski"] Sorry just reread your post and realised this isn't a locking wheel bolt issue. [/quote] It is actually. The others were tight but removable, just not the locking one. [/quote] Ok in that case just watch out, in my experience the BMW locking wheelnuts are not made of ...
