for anyone who has a blown fog light- do it yourself. easy as and its a bulb that you can simply replace you have to remove the plastic cover on the boot lid, 2 screws, middle emergency boot release, 2 lights and use a plastic tool to simply pull away the plastic cover away, then bulbs are usual twi...

so no one had ever had to replace the rear fog light on an e70 x5 ? bit surprising :) anyway the more I think about this the more I think the fog light must be a bulb and not an led strip, just don't think standard led's in cars of my age ie 2010 would be bright enough for a fog light, and the fact ...

I ended up buying the Arnott P-3221 compressor, would have done myself if I had time or ramp- hours work at the most by local mechanic and all done- Seems to be actually better than before but maybe just down to how bad it felt driving it with no air, like driving a fairground ride bobbing up and do...

just realised- that the compressor for a RHD car in UK will be under the driver side which is where the noise is coming from, so going to get a new compressor from arnott- looking at the P-3221 compressor with solenoid valve- lot of the compressors talk about needing to replace the relay as well- do...

Hi- just been getting the same error now myself, I had already replaced the airbags few months back and since then have been fine, but last few days compressor is on all the time and both rear bags have dropped down, just above the tyres. not sure where to start with this one, seems like one thing a...

just to let anyone know- found out what the issue was.
drivers side suspension drop link was gone- new installed and all good.

Hello and welcome. Mine is a 2011 E70. I believe same issue here. It is related to the crossmember stiffener plate. In my case I haven't been able to complete get rid of it. Mechanic remove it and tested noise gone. Installed back on with rubber whashers... Noise went away for some kms then came ba...
