Hi, I need a new set of wipers all round. What type are a good replacement and where would you get them from? Advice much welcomed

May well be, anyway 3 weeks on and 1000 miles done and all good so far computer says 7000 miles till next Service, from what I can tell the last service was September last year so about right I would think.

BMW GB should have service history, if its been main dealer work. My new to me car last year had everything documented at the dealership and recorded at BMW GB, but the service book only had a note of its PDI :| I was told as it's all electronically recorded, paper service books are becoming redund...

Most vin-decoder sites work try this one. https://www.mdecoder.com/ It worked a treat thanks. Thought I would do a service history check while on there, is it normal for these cars to have an average of 4 visits a year to the dealer?

Thanks Alan, will give it a go.

Hi guys, is there anywhere I can check what spec my car came with when new? With the DS I just entered my vin and it listed it. Sorry if coming across a bit thick but I have googled everything I can think of but still can’t find the answer. Any advice much appreciated

Long story for another day. Now just need to decide on should I keep up it’s 100%...

I'd check with the current owner if he had the bmw extended warranty on it as its transferrable, even if only a few days to run if would allow you to renew, alternatively as it's got a full bmw service history you may be able to start one especially as it's just had a bmw health check BMW Insured W...

Yes they are big, but sure you will be pleasantly surprised by the comfort of the ride and the way they go round corners. For a two ton plus car the performance is very good as is the fuel economy. Had various Land Rover products over the last 20 years and all have been good, and fairly reliable, u...

Wow that’s a big imoji

Thanks Wafarer, I had loads of issues with the oil dilution, dpf and various software glitches! Hoping that this is the right move, need a big car that can be relied on when needed with the comfort of the DS. I will have a good check over of the X5 before taking the plunge, would like to think with ...

Hi all, my first post on a BMW site. I have come from LR Discovery Sport, less said about that the better. So I am going to see a 2015 plate (see signature below) on Thursday with a view to buying it, any advice or guidance on what to look out for would be much appreciated :thumbsup: it has a full B...
