Hello and help Twin turbo

[99ron]

Some stuff to look out for that I have experienced with mine that is probably age related as much as mileage related although it has done 135K... but has been serviced properly.

Rear light clusters in the boot lid leaks water in the lights and eventually rusts the innards. Revised seals on later model can be retrofitted.
Sunroof - yes I have issues there as well.
Wheel bearing failure common (one of my rears just gone)  ::)
7 Seaters have rear air suspension - recently replaced the air springs on mine

I think these are fairly common issues with the car and can be resolved but check the history to see if any have been done already.

They do handle well for a big motor though. I did think the ride on the M Sport was hash but switching to non-run flats helped although since buying a Z4M the X5 ride just feels very comfortable now thanks!

Your Ipad must be upside down 

Upside down for me and looks like a very strange roof spoiler 

What the spec etc?
