Re: E53 X5 Winter Wheel & Tyre Set

I said that I would come back when the sale was complete and let the moderators know. The wheels have now been paid for and received by their new owner.

I keep looking at the weather forecast to decide when the winter set should go on my F10. I should probably put them on a little earlier than I ...

Re: Winter Tyre Info and Discussion Thread

For some reason runflats do seem particularly prone to punctures. As I say there is no problem getting them repaired, but personally I would discard rather than repair if it had gone completely flat as I would with a non-runflat. Have a chat with your local non-chain tyre place so you know where to ...

[quote=""MJim""]Just hope I don't get any punctures - the tyres cost nearly £400 each new![/quote]

You can actually get runflat punctures repaired. I had a nail removed from one of my Conti Summer runflats last week. They did ask me on the phoneto sign a disclaimer, but they didn't bother in ...

Re: E53 X5 Winter Wheel & Tyre Set

Thanks AW8, I will certainly come back and update when they have been collected (or otherwise). I really appreciate the chance to advertise them here. I think it was just luck to find an E53 owner on the other forum.

As others have said the difference between a good set of winter tyres and the ...

Re: E53 X5 Winter Wheel & Tyre Set

I'll happily have your bank details pvr. I just need you to send me a small fee to enable me to make the transfer to you :D :D

They sold on this thread BTW: http://www.bmwland.co.uk/forums/viewtop ... 8&t=127002 I guess I just got lucky as not so many E53 owners hang out there.

thanks

Re: E53 X5 Winter Wheel & Tyre Set

I was probably a little high (although hopefully not 90%!) so I am reducing them to £500.

Re: E53 X5 Winter Wheel & Tyre Set

[quote=""AW8""] :lol: Yes indeed, though personally I would be happy to waiver the comission if sold to me with a 90% discount ;)[/quote]

Kind offer, but I think I'll pass! :D

E53 X5 Winter Wheel & Tyre Set

Hello,

I am new to the forum and I appreciate why that might be annoying to see an advert posted straight away. I have sought and received moderator approval to post here. I initially posted an advert on another BMW forum, but was informed by PM that a greater number of E53 owners are members here ...

[quote=""CondorX5""] E53 X5: models 3.0D, 3.0i (NOT the V8 models)

EDIT: 4.4 models apparently excluded - 17" rims fit as per Lez' post below. So all E53 models except 4.6is and 4.8is suitable for 17" wheels. Obviously if brake fitment has been modified with oversize Brembos etc, this will change ...
