Re: Selling my 2011 3.0D M/Sport

yes, car still for sale

to be honest, I really like the car so haven't done anything to else to try to sell...but it is STILL too big for my wife so really needs to go

now on 78k miles, just had had a major service, and absolutely faultless

really super car

Re: Selling my 2011 3.0D M/Sport

lots of views, no replies too expensive? Price is in th right realm...but your trying to sell on a place that 99% of people already have what they want..... Thanks - that's a relief. Paid a lot for this 18 months ago, and don't want to take too much more of a bath. Someone's going to get a bargain....

Selling my 2011 3.0D M/Sport

Hi, Regrettably, I'm looking to sell our 2011 X5 3.0D M/Sport, after an exhaustive search for the right car and 15 months of happy motoring. However, it's simply too big for my wife to drive - I should've bought the Evoque that she really wanted :( Headlines: - 75k miles - 2 owners / full service hi...

i hadnt realised, but yes it does

noise goes away when wheel turned right and increases (a little) when wheel turned left (it's the right hand front wheel)

Noise from front wheel?

I've got a noise coming from my front off side wheel - only really heard it of late when window down, music off

It increases with speed, doesnt change when you ride the brake, and best described as a rubbing or whirring noise

Any thoughts? Wheel bearing maybe?

Re: Looking to purchase a E70, could you help me?

based on having researched and bought one myself about 12 months ago, I'd say: - service history - specification...there are loads out there, so be clear what spec you want...mine has comfort seats, panoramic roof, and adaptive lights, all of which are brilliant to have - tyres...they need to run on...

Replacement wing mirror?

usual story, some kn0b in a van took out my drivers side door mirror

cracked the body coloured cover and the glass

I'm hoping that I can just replace the cover and the glass (rather than full mirror)

any recommendations where to buy from?

Re: Tyre question

having just 'bottled it' and stuck with a new set of £900 RF Dunlops after saying I was DEFINITELY ditching the run-flats this time, I hope your diff explodes  ;)

seriously, sounds great...look forward to the 12 month review when I need to replace mine again
