Thanks. Yes, I feel like I'm cleaning the wheels every other day. Still,it gives me an excuse to wash and polish the car, lol! I was thinking of maybe looking at ceramic pads when it's time to change. Any thoughts?

Hello all. We've recently returned from Canada and as the missus has become accustomed to driving North American vehicles, she wanted an automatic with a higher driving position. I know what side my bread's buttered so I managed to find a 2006 X3 3.0d with 60k on the clock in almost mint condition ...

That's great, thanks all!

Thanks for the help guys. As I don't want to start ripping out trim panels to hunt for the earthing point, would it be feasible to splice into the brown cable and basically establish a new earthing point closer to the rear light cluster?

Sorry, should have clarified that mine has the regular filament bulbs.

Hello all. I have a 2006 X3 3.0M (E83) and an annoying bad earth on the left (passenger) side brake light. Trouble is that I can't find anything that tells me where the earthing point is for this light. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? Thanks in advance.
