[quote=""X5Sport""]I had planned to use double screened, solid conductor but had not got far enough down the road of checking the type code. Good point though. I'll remember that when I go looking.

Just check that STP allows 1GB/s speeds - My knowledge is not current, but I ...

[quote=""X5Sport""]You seem to be a fan of Auto Detox. Is there a particular one to choose as there seem to be a number under similar names.

What sort of figure was a full external brush and polish job? Might have it done on mine E71 once BMW get on and sort the paint out, and the E53 & E46 could ...

[quote=""AW8""]Good to hear of trouble free motoring, decent mpg & competence in snow on Scorpions which I assume were STR's not the STR A's.

Looks a great example too.

Was it a manual ?

My E53 X5 ownership in contrast to your E83 ownership has been far from uneventful at times :roll:

I don't ...

It is a bit quiet here, perhaps other owners have similar ownership experience we had. Best described as uneventful! :)

Our E83 X3 2.0d SE was with us for two enjoyable years and 46k miles. It was remapped by Superchips which gave it a decent turn of speed and good torque, fuel economy was a touch ...

I've been thro' this pain over the last 5 years or so. The answer is cabled, wifi and home plug/power line just aren't robust enough even if you do manage to tweak them to deliver a consistent 30mbps physical link. I got close with power line at 200mbps but 1080p dts can peak to 45mbps and I had ...

[quote=""pvr""]Excellent, and the only way to get the paint correct. I did the same with my M and it does save any dealer monkey generated damage!

Very nice ... :thumbsup:[/quote]

Incidentally, somewhere along the line it had been washed. Maybe when it entered port at Thorne as there was a small ...

It's a month since the new white Tonka arrived on our driveway. Delivered from by the dealer in its "raw" state (9 weeks after order), just as I had asked them to. This was to allow, Barry from Autodetox to finesse the paint on the car without first fixing damage caused by the dealers valeters.

As ...

Fugly in the extreme!! But you'd probably get change from a bag of sand and a 10 year warranty....

Lepsons have very good write-ups on other forums, may be worth having a chat with them.

Very useful info - thanks for this Richard - The Limousin in my experience has always had lots of patrols and static speed cameras, perhaps its the French approach ...

[quote=""X5Sport""]Being a 'performance' car the ride is firm but that means the handling is excellent. In terms of tyre roar, yes there is a bit and it is a little noisier on the Style 214 20" wheels with the Dunlop tyres than the Style 168 19" set with Pirelli winter tyres that I also have. That's ...

[quote=""X5Sport""]The 8spd transmission is smoooooooth and the power delivery means you will make errrrr 'Progress'. I've only done 2600 miles in mine so it's not even close to being run in, but it sure does go!![/quote]

How do you find the run flat tyres in terms of comfort/road noise and ...

[quote=""Minda""]Welcome! look forward to the pic's is the E73 a facelift of the E71? or have you just got your numbers wrong?[/quote]

Thanks for the welcome - yes got my E-series numbers wrong! (now edited) :)

Looking forward to driving it - It's our replacement for an X3 and Alpina D3BT Coupe ...

Hello,

Just placed an order for an X6 40d in white with Cotswold BMW. Hopefully it will arrive before the end of June for family holiday duties (a trip to Bergerac, France).

Great website with useful information, and I'll post some pics when the car arrives.
