Re: DPF Regeneration / Particulate Check Warning (E70)

[quote="Domowilko"] looks like the DPF is clogged up to high heaven and a forced regen will not sort. Does anyone know how many times a dpf can be sent off for cleaning and any recommendations in the Stoke on Trent area for a quality clean. I am unsure to why it can be so clogged when it w...

Re: Question for the Infotainment/Comms experts.

Rear tyre wear

Id say nothing wrong with that personally.  If anything thats good if they have been on since 2013.  X5's are notorious for shredding rear tyres due to the camber they run to make them behave like a car.  I would just replace and come off run flat crap! bloody awful tyres, I had more punctures on ru...

Re: Been to look at 2008 BMW 730d M Sport

My father has had two now.  A stunning black 08 plate 730d sport e65, and an 09 plate 730d se, the e65 100% was the better drive of the two, and I used it a few times. Didnt feel overly big for town etc ( I had e70 X5 at the time ). Lovely cars, can only recommend!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Re: [Help Please] Fibre Optic Issues
