Re: cable from interiour to engine
What would it be for?
Not having played around in the bay, there could be a 'modules box' under the aircon/scuttle trims which should have wiring going through it between the fuse board/interior and the engine bay as it did on the E53. If said beastie is also on the E70 then that should give you a way through?

Re: cable from interiour to engine
i'm in two minds whether to keep or sell....i love the car but the wife keeps remarking about the ride being a bit harsh...i think the answer is to get some 19" wheels and go from there....
it was a nice day today and i was bored and wanted to do somethingbwith the car..

Re: cable from interiour to engine
Just bin the run flats, get some conventional tyres, and a space saver spare, or carry a tin of tyre weld , lots of cars don't come with a spare wheel anymore.
Don't believe all the bull about the suspension being set up for run flats either.
You will get a better ride. I did the same on my E60 530i, it transformed the car, better handling and much reduced noise. Rides like Bmw,s used to.

Re: cable from interiour to engine
