Mine went on my 09 sd a few weeks ago too. Luckily I had been up in Swansea dropping off my son back at Uni and had got home to Bournemouth before it went the very next journey. My driveway is also very steep and not a straight run so it took two different pickups companies about four hours just to ...

I see those ones come up quite often on eBay. 2 Sets listed right now.

Well car came back yesterday. Spoke to the mechanic on the phone too. They have adjusted some of the front angle sensors and believe the x-drive may be winding up.

Possible cause they thought could be because I have winter wheels on it (Pirelli Ice&Snow RFT's 19" on 223 wheels). These came with the ...

What MPG are you seeing with the re-map on the 3.5sd?  I'm getting around 25-27mpg on the factory tune.  2009, 3.5SD 35,000 miles, mixture of local country roads and dual carriage ways.

So get this come up on my car when I have been driving for about 20 minutes fast on a motorway/dual carriageway almost without fail. Happens even quicker if it is raining for some reason.

Car computer says 25.9 over several thousand miles, but it depends how accurate that really is  :-\

Mine is a carbon black, and the grill is a matt black colour. The pictures were on a previous page.

I have the 3.5sd and have quite shocking fuel consumption figures. Average around 26mpg which is largely A road & dual carriageway driving. Was a real shock coming from my old E53 where I used to get around 31mpg.

I dislike Woods in Bournemouth, but living & working there I tend to use them for ease (still in warranty). When I lived in Godalming I never got on with Vines in Guildford either, but did find Barons in Hindhead very good (not sure if they are still there as they were on the old A3). This is quite ...

Had to relist the wheels as the person who won the last auction then kept trying it on.

So relisted again here - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=251049503414&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

I am totally honest about them and if anyone wants to see them, then more than welcome ...

Open bonnet, then squeezing the few small clips to remove the old one and the new ones click into place by pushing (spring clips).

Not sure if I'm allowed to link to eBay auctions -

But id just picked up another set of these brand new as it was cheaper than getting the old ones refurbished and new tyres. So have the old set ...

My Sport model came with a Titanium Grill, But I changed it to a black one.

The current version in my 2009 X5 is out of date with some new roads missing which gets a tad annoying (and also doesn't know about the A3 tunnel @ hindhead).
Without physically changing the system - is it a case of ejecting the old disk and getting a newer one?
Now has BMW any special encoding ...

Hi I was on Ringwood South again, but this year took my mates CRV. He got a puncture coming out of the stage! Very strange year this year, the new spec cars take a lot of the fun out of watching and also the groups with the big gaps inbetween didn't help with the flow of things.
