Hi, I have a 55 plate 3.0D and I did this myself. I collected a set of 20" 5 spoke 4.6IS wheels from different ebay sellers. The wheels cost me just over £300 in all, then ~£700 for a set of matched Kumho rubber fitted and balanced (which have proved to be excellent). I think the 20s (especially of ...

I quite like the whole 4.6 kit, arches and everything... euro 450 isn't a bad price if the quality is spot on.

[quote=""Turks""][quote=""RichB""]Is the calibration against 19's / 20's any diffent, given the 19s run higher profiles tyres? From my experience using my GPS reader on the satnav as true speed compared to the speedo, the difference in this case is negligable. My speedo reads over by just under 4 ...

[quote=""bonerp""]Just as a quick note have we all seen that Tesco now do tyres from Black Circles - good prices and they fit too. Unfortunately they dont have rear Hankooks or front toyos at the mo grrrr[/quote] ...and that's why I ended up with a set of Kumhos so far so good with them though, more ...

Can you also get facelift 4.8is ones?

What sub / amp set up did you go for? Any pics?

[quote=""Sanj""]The reason why the skidpan is listed for the 4.6is as well is because it WILL fit but you need to remove the lower valance first. That valance on the 4.6is will fit any standard bumper for all the range except the 4.8is. Straight fit. So another curve ball thrown in for you guys ...

Hi, I've got some running boards to fit; have the boards themselves, and the plastics that go around the wheel arches. Had a look at the fitting guide on xoutpost; makes sense (although the plastics look different for some reason). Is there anything I need also; I was hoping to re-use any bolts etc ...

Just to reinvigorate this thread for a moment, I had my 20s fitted yesterday, new tyres all round via blackcircles.com so that's 275/40/20 and 315/35/20. Went for Kumho tyres as a matched set - couldn't get Toyos (would have been my preferred choice) in an matching set, could get Toyos of both sizes ...

Full set for £310 eventually...

then bought the tyres

Hi, I have a garage full of stuff waiting to be fitted to my X5 3.0D, looking forward to getting on with it; most are factory fit options, so not worried necessarily about these, but the question of insurance concerns me; for those of you who have modified X5's, especially if you have had them ...

Got one now.

I missed this, and now the auction is ended already

Anyway, if it falls thorugh, let me know please.

If anyone else happens to have one of these kicking about, please PM me.

Thanks

Just swapped emails with an exhausts place. They can fabricate a fake set of pipes similar to the 4.6is letterbox style ones to the rear silencers of the diesel (without changng anything functionally) for £150. Saw a pic too, looks like a half decent job; very tempting!! Good point on the insurance. ...
