Replacement Front Parking Sensor Suggestion

Evening guys, My front outer parking sensor is looking a bit shabby, working fine, but the paint as worn off it so would like to replace it. Car is a 2011 30d SE (so plain black sensor to match the unpainted plastic). I believe the part number is 66209270491 https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS ...

Re: Rear Fog Light Bulb Warning - MOT Tomorrow

Woohoo, passed its MOT, no advisories either. Not bad for a 8.5 year old car with 75k miles.

Sorted. Removed the bulb and cleaned up the carrier, definitely some water related corrosion, but working now :D

Hopefully it passes the MOT now.

Prise of the little flap on the tailgate ...

Re: E70 Humming Noise

Irritating is a good word for it.

I've tried a spare set of wheels and get the same noise, so it's definitely not my tyres, although they are coming to end of their life.

E70 Humming Noise

Evening all, I had my 2011 X5 30d in to the dealer a few months back due to a humming noise which I thought was coming from the front n/s wheels. However BMW diagnosed it as a faulty diff and replaced the entire unit under warranty. But now I'm starting to notice it more. Seems louder when coming ...

Non Run Flat but * rated

All,

Looking to fit new rear tyres, but can't find a decent option for 285 /45 19 * rated, but non run flat. Need the higher load rating since it's a 7 seater.

Will replace the fronts too if I go non run flat.

Any suggestions?

Graeme
