Hi From Manchester - E70 3.0D

Hello!
So I just got a '07, x5 3.0D. Very basic spec but it was a good price and seemed to run OK - so here I am, signing up to a forum to sort all its issues out haha!

Previous owner said he spent a fortune on upgrading the lights to look better, but I never questioned what he done to be honest - I would really be keen to know what to look for for any changes to the standard pre-LCI lights.

Had it a few weeks now and I have gathered a whole pile of service items, which racked up a bill pretty quickly! Hopefully it will set a good base for some happy motoring...🤞

Engine oil and filter, air filter and fuel filter.
Front Diff, Rear diff and TC oils.
ZF gearbox oil, filter and sleeves.
Front drop links.
Both thermostats.
K+DCan cable and protool diagnostic app.

I have some questions about checking the health of the car so I will be posting in the right areas with those.

:hi:

Just a note of caution, you might want to limit the access in your imgur directory - it’s open.

You can add images into threads via the ‘Add files’ function, though it may be restricted until you are up to a certain number of posts.
:ant: Never anthropomorphise computers. They hate that.
