Car pulls and heavy on steering

Car pulls and heavy on steering

Good evening I’ve not really used my car since I bought it and apart from upgrade the interior lights I’ve not touched it. One thing I have noticed though is that it’s quite heavy on steering and it seems to tramline a fair bit, Could this be down to the 20mm spacers that are fitted or would that not ...

Oh great that’s something to look forward to :tumbleweed:
Unfortunately it was fairly common. Bmw plastics that don't like hot oil

New guy with x5 e53 is

Good evening all.
Just found this forum a short time ago.
Recently just bought a 2002 x5 4.6is.
All in black with black with black leather too.

Always wanted one but not as a daily driver.
Got a few issues with it (nothing big hopefully) so hopefully will find answers here.
