Re: For Sale 2003 4.6is in Estoril Blue, approx 62k miles

I'm a bit out in the sticks, can verify exact location if anyone is truly interested in the vehicle. Cheltenham is the postal town and I'm about 25 mins from there. I added the county to the profile after the initial reply as hadn't spotted it wasn't already on there.

Wanted, 2003 E53 or earlier load cover support brackets in black

I'm looking for a couple of black load cover support brackets, PN# is 51477033549 and 51477033550. These go on the earlier load covers that kind of fold like a roman blind instead of the later roller blind type load covers. Already been offered a pair or £40 including postage,  but think that's a bu...

Re: Rad Fans

Actually...BMW got the fan to run..it was just the condenser at fault.  Got a new one installed by a main dealer and it's lovely now.

Re: Taking the leap!! X5 4.6is or 4.8is?

Mine has had quite a bit of money spent on it mechanically since I posted above...will prob list it in December or January....can't really bear to part but with it but can't live with 18mpg and a newborn to pay for! Looking at those listings above, £16k seems quite steep for a 2006 4.8! Mine is a 20...

Re: Frightened

I got a warranty through the BMW website...if the mileage isn't too high it should be okay...keeps me confident anyway!

Re: do x6 wheels fit x5 e70?

I would always be paranoid with wheels that aren't meant for it as the transfer box may get squiffy....could be wrong but I always stick to what the BMW standard were. What does it say on the sticker on the door ref wheel sizes?

Re: Time to start saving

Was the squeak diagnosed...I had read somewhere that could be torque converter?
