Re: Double glazed vs single
[quote="Smeeagain"] HE feels the cold. Or he wants a bulletproof inner panel ........ :)) Smee :) [/quote] Erm no. I need to replace 1 glass pane as its cracked. Local scrapy has all 4 for 30quid. But they are double glazed. I wanted to see if it would be a straight swap as its a cheap price.

Double glazed vs single
Hi,
Will double glazed window panes (1 per door) fit into the slots/runners for a e53 designed for single paned windows? I.e. is it a straight swap?
On the 7 series, you need to install different trim pieces as the glass was considerably thicker.

Re: Original tyre sizes for 21inch Alpina Dynamic alloys
Also Camber suggestions would be good, as i would get this all done at the same time i get new tyres.
I have 20mm spacers on the front and 20mm spacers on the rear.

Re: inactive air suspension
Those look good. Assuming a DIYer could change the air bags over?

Re: inactive air suspension
Or is it wiser to install coilovers such as http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221990321080
Then would i simply need to deactivate the active air suspension using bmw scanner?

Re: inactive air suspension
Ok, is defo the bag. Can someone recommend a front passenger side and front driver side bag?
Ideally i just want to get the part, take it to the local garage and tell them to swap the bags over.

inactive air suspension
Hi, I think the air suspension bag on my relative's 4.8is 2006 has gone. All other corners pump up, except the drivers side. It pumps up, but then a hissing sound can be heard, and it lowers on that 1 side. http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=FA92-EUR-01-2006-E53-BMW-X5_48is&diagId=31_0690 ...

Re: E53 powered tailgate retrofit
Does anyone have some links to the springs to add to the upper struts?

Re: Small bang when reversing around a corner
No noise on kickdown. Only when in reverse. Even then, not 100% of time, only when reversing while cornering/turning.
Very strange. Will get all bushes checked and diff oil checked/changed. Assuming diff oil can be changed in a 4.8is, some units are marketed as 'sealed for life'.

Small bang when reversing around a corner
I hear a slight bang and a small judder when I reverse whilst turning the wheel.
Even on a flat surface (so no kerbs etc.).
Usually happens when im reversing to the right.
Any ideas?
