These aren't in the latest brochure are they ? I haven't seen them before. Nice wheels though . Are they 2012 wheels?

Like those, no good if they don't fit though. He has X5 in the title

Unfortunately a lot of people assume that the X6 is the same underneath as the X5. The X6 has a clever limited slip rear drive system and the wheels have a different (smaller) centre bore. The pictures look like an X6 as I don't remember that front corner reflector on the E70.

X6, you're right (well you would be, you own one).

Btw, whilst you're laid up, want me to keep it running for you? I'll treat it well, honest. Hope you're OK today mate.

Cheers Sanj, but HRH got there first.

I now have one of these horrors in my neck........hence needing to be a bit careful for the next two weeks.

Now to be called Lurch.....

there seems to be a E70 option according to realoem

I didn't check the X5(M). There still might be a problem though as the 'M' variant has the same electronically controlled limited slip rear differential as the X6 and therefore the rear bores may still be a problem. Hence they're only listed against the 'M' and the X6 which all match.

That diff isn't fitted to the other versions of the E70 as far as I can see on RealOEM, but is standard on all versions of the X6.

It's going to make airport scanners more interesting in the future!

What size bolt is that? Next time I see you, I might just need to "adjust" you a bit

Are you wearing a neck brace by the way at the moment ...

X5Sport · Post by **X5Sport** » Mon Mar 19, 2012 12:54 pm

Nope. No neck brace needed. Have to stay in bed most of the time under 'house arrest' though until I next go to the surgeon. Not allowed out in case of 'sudden shock'!

I am checking the stairs etc for tripwires and making sure Bonnie isn't training the cats to act as special mobile tripping units!!

I do have to wear DVT stockings though.....don't go there..

Nice colour screw though, but did they not do one to match your X6 that's the very least they could do. And hadn't realised you were laid up so hope your back up and running soon

Does it come in carbon?

Yes...

I'm not getting it changed though. Somehow I don't think BUPA will play, or pay.
