Hi Firodo

I traded the car for a 3 series back in 2023. I never got to the bottom of the noise, it was very frustrating. Funny you should say about the diff, I did have a leaking output shaft which caused low oil in the rear diff, it went into bmw to have a new seal and I did ask them to check the ...

Sorry it’s dirty, but it’s used daily and not had chance to clean, car is in West Sussex near Brighton, on can get to Reigate in surrey

I have ordered some to collect later. Hopefully no other issues arise.

Cheers

Thanks guys, will try these out, can’t seem to see a bleed screw anywhere. Probably find out it’s a diagnostic plug that is required.
Has anyone used a different coolant or stick with bmw coolant?
I only had my changed end of last year in bmw, I noticed it is green in colour which I think is the HT ...

Evening

Saturday, driving car and get coolant level too low warning, pull up and have steam sound and water dripping under car, let car cool and check expansion tank, took about 3 litres of water to fill up, get car home and same issue.

Long story short, after taking most of front of car apart I ...

Morning

Had the tyres replaced all around, went with Goodyear eagle F1 runflats. So far so good.
Booked in for hunter alignment also.

Now I have a slightly different issue, the fuel gauge has suddenly started going up and down slightly (two to three segments) when the car is stopped, and the miles ...

The car hasn’t had alignment done in ownership, my E53 use to wear the inner rears, but not as bad as this. Hopefully the alignment will give the new tyres a slightly better chance at a longer life.
I assumed the uneven wear was down to poor alignment due to the fact that my wife seems to find ...

Hi
Before I waste any money, has anyone tried the Bridgestone Potenza sport non rft tyre? Anyone got them fitted?
Or am I asking for trouble? I need to change in the next few days as I have some strange uneven wear, front outters bald, rear inners bald and about 5mm of tread of the rest of all ...

Looks like I can get the right specs in the Bridgestone Potenza sport. They seem to have a good write up. Might give them a try

Cheers

Thanks X5Sport

I have been looking all morning, and can find non runflats in correct spec for the rear, however the fronts 255/50R19 I can’t find the right load index, it should be 107 and all I can find is 103,

Is that going to be an issue? As that’s a bit of weight difference for each tyre ...

Morning

The X needs a new set of boots all around, I currently have Bridgestone Dueler star marked run flats all around.
The wheels are 19” staggered

Just wondering what people have stuck on theirs?

Is it possible to put non run flats on the car without messing up anything? As I find the run ...

Ok great, I will give that a go

Cheers

The noise is definitely speed dependant rather than varying with throttle input, push car hard or just doodle around and the noise is exactly the same
