Coolant issue

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-1 ...

Tyres

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 ...

Tyres

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 every ...

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 tyres ...

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

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 Cheers

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 flats r ...

E70 strange noise

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

E70 strange noise

The noise does change in frequency, at motorway speed it’s still there but less noticeable, the worst is around 40mph as in the video, have also noticed I can hear it from outside the vehicle if the windows are down when going down my road. If I jack up the back is the rear axle able to be spun w ...
