Sorry I sold the car last November, I do miss that car but maybe next one will be much lower miles, sorry I can’t help you here I never managed to get to the bottom of it before selling

How are you getting on with your issues, particularly interested in the services you had planned and the noises which remained after you changed your tyres, i am at 54k on my F16 X6 and in the process of pricing new discs and pads (F&R) along with new tyres, 4 wheel alignment and possibly a wheel ...

Nice :D Check the brake discs for run out (warping) and that the wheel to hub mating surface is clean as a bit of crud can mean a wheel not fitting properly. Warped discs or sticky callipers are known on BMWs as some of us have discovered :? Might be also worth giving the rear prop shaft a waggle ...

Looking good, hopefully you can enjoy it for a long time without any more expense. See you've learnt how to park it so no one can put any dints in it :D Thank you! Yes hopefully get a few years out as as I’ll be lucky to do 7-10k per year thankfully! Yes came with a manual saying if your not across ...

Hi, Thanks for the reply, I got a great deal via nhs discount and another 20% off Bridgstones so saved plenty in the end

Thanks! PS Merry Christmas

Sadly BMW can mean Breaks My Wallet or Being Mended Weekly. There are people who buy luxury cars but aren’t prepared to then stomach the expensive habits of such and stick cheap parts on. Tyres are one of those items that I (personally) would never skimp on anyway simply because they’re the only thi ...

Check for warped discs and/or sticking callipers. The simplest way to find a sticky calliper is to check how warm a wheel hub is after a drive of a few miles and when the juddering occurs. If one hub is warmer than the other three then that calliper is sticking. It can also lead to warped discs ...

The 'rumble' might be a warning sign about the tyres. What's the tread depth variance and are they all the same brand/type? If there is any sign of jerkiness at walking pace on full lock that it an even bigger warning of the transmission not liking the tyres fitted. Ignoring that warning can be ...

Update l** I have the car and very happy with it, finding more all the time spec wise which is great! Car is not on star marked tyres so I aim to have these changed and with 109k miles I’m getting a transmission service as mentioned above which will included transfer and diffs also, need to wait u ...

.......bricking it due to the mileage I used to be hung-up about the mileage on mine (it's just turned 9 years old and has done 107k). As long as you change the engine oil & filter regularly you should be fine. Some people do theirs every 10k, I choose 6k. I've been doing my own servicing for over ...

Congratulations on your x5, great spec, tyres are important, BMW say the tread difference between any tyre is 2mm assuming all the tyres are the same make, type and of similar age, this is from the info I got when I recently replaced a tyre, star rated are recommended by BMW to avoid any potential ...

Congrats on your purchase. :thumbsup: BMW don't service transmissions. Look for a ZF approved service centre. My local charged me £640 a few weeks ago for what they call a "driveline service" - transmission, both diffs and transfer box. As it's an MSport, it will have staggered tyres. Don't be ...

After some great help by other members in the newbie section I have paid my deposit on a 64 plate x5 Msport 30d with many added extras! Such as pan roof/ comfort seats / surround camera / cold weather pack / reverse cam pro nav etc/ Main concern is 108k miles but with full bmw service history ! 2 ...

Update: Seen the grey car above this morning. - very impressed! Will hopefully be confirming the details tomorrow. Car has a lot including the rear heated seats. Pan roof etc all in working order :lol: paintwork is immaculate as is the driver seat ( no rip) full bmw history which is great! Car is ...
