Hi Folks,
Bought an x5 yesterday 2005 with just 60k.Just noticed today on flat ground that it's sitting lop sided to the right when viewing it from behind. There is also a ratlling noise coming from the rear driver's side suspension area, very slight but still noticeable. Is this a new bush required, a new suspension bag or coil? Dealer says he'll fix it next week when can get it booked in but until then is it safe to drive on? Any help apprciated.
Otheriwse over the moon with car, 3.0d Sport black with black leather seats (in A1 condition), very pleased to that end....
Thanks Mark

Welcome!
Bag or sensor, plus safe to drive (but not too fast and carefully).
Keep us posted on what the dealer says it is.
You have a request:
Sorry.... O:-)
Beat you X5Sport!

Totally agree, but it takes some doing keeping black clean, but black buffs up lovely.
