I too looked at this several years ago. I ended up buying a folding bike rack that fitted onto the towbar. Works a treat.

So I have had my E53 for some time now, it has ran perfect except for one ongoing glitch I will raise in a separate topic. The front headlights had been clouding over with time as any plastic headlights will. I had bought a 3M kit a long time ago which a few members out here have tried. I followed t...

Had the car a while now and still impressed when I take it out and just lately the trip from Antwerp (50c/L) to Aberdeen (52.7p/L) belongs to this sort of car. Cruising at 75mph gives 27mpg on petrol but considerably more on LPG. So Antwerp to zeebrugge went quite smooth. There has always been a sli...

Hello Saphireblack
I did some research last week and I too found them.
I could not find any reviews so we will see.
The car is booked in on the 12th for its mot with early run for the Dunkirk / Dover ferry Friday morning.
Thanks

Hi Guys,
I am bringing the car over to Dover on the Ferry. I am looking for a garage that is familiar with the X5 E53. This can be an BMW independent specialist or similar meaning a good MoT place.
Can anyone help me please.

On Sunday I took the X5 to Aviemore over the Lecht. I was a bit concerned on how the brakes would hold up. No problem. Going up was fun as the car held a low gear all the way up. I was quietly surprised how the back end sticks to the road. Very confident inspiring pressing on. I never realised how g...

:) Spot on. I bought the kit from bagpipe Andy in anticipation. Took it apart and did not need it. Bagpipeandy is quite a knowledgeable on the subject too. Really nice guy to talk with. I reset the compressor as he suggested and hey ho I have a spare kit in the bottom drawer. However three month lat...

I have two four wheel drive cars. The X5 was set up in Aberdeen last year with a hunter. I had the inner and outer track rods replaced to get the tiny bit of slack taken up and the seized side sorted. Next up will be to replace the soft bushing bits at the front. I agree with the respected member th...

I had a think about that one. An X5 at 2.0 plus Tonne. Will 60 to 85kg make that big a difference to the car set up? If the car weighed 900 to 1400kg and was being tracked I would want to sit in it. Maybe bias it for my favourite track. With the X5 I not so sure adding weight will add value to the h...

I used these people to find my nearest Hunter bloke. Try it and see what happens.
Good luck with the subframe sale too.

Eco Green or maybe a Ford.
Porsche put them on their Hybrid cars
not on a V8 X5, You need anti Green.

Tasty slots. I like those.

Nice upgrade and post.
How was the brake judder post fitment?

Caliper Colour.
Racing Red of course.
Brembo Red

Nice one Henry. I did not have the tool and had it done by a garage when I had the rear bushings done.

Hi Henry, WV maywell be white (weiss) with a violet (violett) trace on the wire. Lialic (lila) is lighter. I have no knowledge of car industry standards and colours. However I can convert colours from German, Dutch and Italian through experience from another field. As it's a German car there will be...

Can I ask if you fitted a larger battery.
