I know exactly what you mean, after spending that money on it for the m.o.t I thought 'get rid!' but I like it that much I got rid of my Renault Megane work horse and bought a E90 325d M Sport and couldn't be happier! 2 BMW's on the drive and the the e90 goes like stink as its already remapped ...

that will be a 'No' then lol

cheers Colin, Yes it looks really nice in the red with black kidneys and the dark grey wheels, theres a couple of scuffs to the alloys so will probably get them done at some point, theres a bit of a dent in the bonnet and they are fully respraying the bonnet so ask them to do bumper as well (at my ...

Added this to the fold, mainly for going to work in really and when the mrs has got the X5, she's a 325d M Sport drives lovely, I can't wait to pick it up 

Yea it does feel a lot better tbh, had to have a new injector no3 on friday just to add insult to injury because the Fuel inject. system warning came up.... even more annoying the warning came up again today  :rant: :wall:

Hi chaps,

As the title suggests really, just wondering if anyone has ever had or got one to pass comment on? I must admit I've never sat in anything with as much luxury before, I mean shining the BMW badge on the floor when you open the door!! :hypo:
TIA
Simon

Thanks for all your replies. Your right when you say it's a nice place to be in a E53 (ha, that rhymes) I have had loads of BMW's over the years from E30 to E46 M3 (which was fast but no good for long journeys, maybe i'm getting old) A few years ago I had a 2.7tdi A5 coupe it was a nice car again ...

Thanks for your reply Graeme, Yea I know what your saying , I've had it 2yrs now and changed nothing but tyres and used to get it mot'd at my local back street garage and it passed every time lol , take it to a specialist and whoa! 1.5k but when I drove it you could tell that the work needed doing ...

Hello all, Haven't been on for a while but I just needed to share my m.o.t woe's :( I knew it wouldn't pass on some minor things but turned out to be 1500 worth!! :rant:TBH I was nearly sick lol...alot of it was suspension parts and brake lines its a 2005 with 160k so I suppose its to be expected ...

just to let you know the above worked a treat!  thanks for your help, saved me a few quid which is always good!

Cheers mate, we'll give it a go

Hi,
It goes up 2 clicks and then that's your lot! Failed m.o.t on it, which is annoying because I never use it anyway lol

Cheers

hi,
Need a new handbrake assembly, rang main dealers and they are £120  :hypo: can't find any on eBay or my local breakers yard, so was wondering does one of a e60/e39 5 series fit?

thanks

Hi all, New to the forum, bought my 2005 diesel about 6 months ago after having an e46 m3, not my first X5 had a 2001 diesel with 4.6 kit on it, after having the M this is like a limo , I love it! Anyway I could waffle all day about the BMW's I've had over the years, just thought i'd say Hi :) Simon

Mine was the same at 145k , quite smokey and smelt of diesel and if you gave it the beans it was like a smoke screen(very james bond) anyway the fuel injection system fault came up so took it to my local specialist and had a diagnostic, turns out 4 plugs were gone and the module, no3 injector and an ...
