Agreed

If the part doesn't work on my car though it's a costly exercise as I incur fitting costs from my garage and I'm no further forward

Thanks for the link.

I just checked with the Ebay supplier and they say this part won't fit my car - even though the part number matches up. Confusing!

Hi,

Has anyone purchased after market X5 TPMS sensors from a reliable source? I really don't want to be paying £90 x 4 sensors for OEM parts, given they are for my winter wheels.

Anyone bought from an Ebay supplier and had a good outcome? Prices are definitely cheaper but is the quality decent ...

I've ordered up an 18" winter wheels and tyres package from my local dealership, with a fair contribution from the dealership I bought the X5 from.

I'm happy with the contribution but still annoyed the dealer put me on the road with minimal tread. Got to watch them very carefully!

Now time to sell ...

Picked up my “new” 66 plate X5 40d 2 weeks ago. One of the tyres is seriously under the 3mm BMW approved standard. In fact it’s just legal and no more. I could be in serious trouble if the police were to decide otherwise.

Should the dealership be replacing all four tyres, or just the two on that ...

Happy to report I’ve managed to secure a white X5 40d M Sport plus that’s done 17k Miles.

A 17 plate, registered a few months before the road tax increase.

Paid just shy of £40k, had to battle a little to get my p/ex value I’m happy with the car and price. Collection in a couple of weeks.

I’ll ...

Wouldn't a non BMW fitted tow bar cause warranty issues? Indeed I was quoted £2k by a dealership, £600 I can handle!

I'm going to have a look at the X3 as well. I'd get more for my money, I can get one with roof and rev camera then add a tow bar. The 30d does 0-60 in 5.8 secs which is more than ...

Thanks for the advice guys. I'm down to a choice of two.

A 17 plate 40d M Sport in white at just over £43k that's done 11,000 miles. It's got everything I want EXCEPT the tow bar. A few k above my budget but I'd manage.

A 66 plate 30d M Sport in space grey at £36k that's done 22,000 miles. It's ...

Thanks guys!

Regarding key requirements panoramic roof, camera assist and dark trim for me. A tow bar would be handy, as would comfort seats but hard to track down.

Car 1 above (18 plate) is now sold. They’ve offered me an 18 plate 40d M sport with similar spec for £43k, 1k more than the 30d. It’s ...

Hi Folks, First post so please be gentle!

I’m looking at buying a used X5. Currently driving a 13 plate 320i tourer sport that’s done 23k, roughly 5k miles per year. Lovely car to drive, fully serviced and MOTd for another year. Winter tyres and wheels for when the weather turns.

Looking to trade ...
