Selling to Car Buying Websites - My experience

Having decided to sell my 2012 BMW X5 I obtained provisional online valuations from companies offering online initiated car buying services. We Buy Any Car Dot com provisionally offered an online valuation figure that was less than provisionally offered by Trusted Car Buyers dot com. I contacted Tru...

Re: FOR SALE: ROOF BARS E70 M SPORT ONLY (OEM & UNUSED)

I could certainly pack them in bubble wrap/cardboard to give them a fighting chance of making it to you in the right number of pieces.  How would you want me to send them, eg. Post Office parcel post, courier, etc.? In terms of price, eBay has them at around £100-£125 so something around £85 plus po...

FOR SALE: ROOF BARS E70 M SPORT ONLY (OEM & UNUSED)

Purchased in October 2013 but never used.  I foolishly discarded the original box which the bars came in but the bits & pieces are still in their original packaging.  These bars are lockable and there are 2 keys.  The bars have been stored in the garage and have only been collecting dust!  Compl...

Re: 20" wheels replaced under warranty

Just had my 20" alloys replaced by BMW via Sytner's in Sunningdale.  Absolutely no bother as the guy from Sytner's said that BMW had issued an alert to watch out for corrosion on the 20" wheels. Thanks to this forum, I have new 20" wheels waiting for my X5 when the winter wheels/tyres...

Re: Album Cover Art

:) When I swapped the official BMW iPod cable for the standard Apple white one the album art showed up straight away.  Official BMW parts are not always the best option, doh!
Many thanks to all who responded.  Much appreciated.

Re: Album Cover Art

My car is a 2012 ('12') X5 with the Media Pack.
I have tried to find out about whether an iPod Classic supports album art out but have failed so far.  Any thoughts where I should be looking?
Very many thanks.

Album Cover Art

I have an iPod Classic connected via the centre console USB and phone ports using the BMW specific iPod cable. My problem is that I cannot get any album cover art to show up on the BMW screen when I play an album from the iPod.  The track and album listing just show as text.  What am I doing wrong h...

Re: Loudspeaker system

Has anyone had their speaker system upgraded as an after-market change, either via BMW or a competent ICE company?  If so, experiences and thoughts?

Re: Winter Tyre Info and Discussion Thread ( Keep related chat here please)

Here is my first contribution as an X5 and forum newbie so please be gentle with me. I am about to pick-up my E70 40d MSport and have the intention of fitting it with a set of alloy wheels and winter tyres as I did with my E91 330d MSport and we do with my wife's Mini Countryman Cooper S All4.
