Auto Light Sensor F15

Hi guys,

My auto lights take ages to come on when the natural light fades away.  Has anyone else had issue with their auto lights and is their a fix?

Thanks

Door Trim and Centre Console Removal X5 F15

Hi,

Does anyone have a ‘how to’ guide for the removal / replacement of the door trims and aluminium strips either side of the centre console of an F15 X5?

Thanks

idrive question

Hi everyone,

I’m new to idrive (used to Audi system) and would welcome some guidance on whether there’s a function to get auto zoomed junctions / exits when in nav mode.  I had an option on my Audi, but can’t find a way of doing it on my X5 (F15).

Cheers

Re: Alloy Centre Caps

Thanks.  Just bought some black kidney grilles from them and wondered why I got a discount.

Will check them out for centre caps too.

Alloy Centre Caps

I’m after some new centre caps and wondered if I should go eBay copies or originals?

Thanks

Tyre Query

Hi everyone,

Please forgive, as I know this subject has been discussed on the forum at length. 

I have one question.  Kwik Fit told me that changing the RFT's to non RFT's is classed as a modification and could affect my insurance.

Is this true?

Thanks

Whining Noise

Newbie question,

I just had a look under the bonnet after a short drive (was checking out kidney removal) and heard a whining / sort of spinning noise coming from under the BMW plastic cover that covers the engine.

Is this normal / could it be turbo related?

Thanks
