I think Yorkshire is a bit far from sunny Hertfordshire  :) My car sounds exactly like to one in that youtube video - perhaps it's just normal. I did reset on the Lin bus error, but it came back straight away. Unfortunately I didn't see option in Carly to measure voltage on the glow plugs ... do you...

I have identical fault on my car. Are you planning to replace this yourself?

How strange. What error you have on the glow plug?

When I ran diagnostics with Carly I got fault 49A6 - LIN bus communication. From my research its most likely faulty Glow plug controller which is a bit of a job to do, but doable. Anyone knows what would be the visible symptoms of this issue? Anyone else had this fault? There are no other errors aro...

[quote="AdamsX5"] I’m getting used to driving the X5 now I’ve had it for 2 weeks I’ve only driven it a few times due to having insurance put on and making sure the service is done and all is ok. Anyway I find there is a lot of low down torque or turbo at low speeds. I normally drive a 6 cy...

Thank you Hamps_w for the information - looks very nice. I've already purchased different X5 so will pass on this one

Hey everyone I'd like to share with you my newly acquired BMW X5. It's space grey 2010 40d SE (SE was actually my preference over the M sport) - Dynamic package & Media package, Top view and Side view cameras, 4 zone climate and then I think it's just the standard SE equipment  ;) As many of you...

Ah okay. I am in Bristol.
I have a 2008 X5 SD M sport with 101k on it. In two minds about selling. Have just put 4 new tyres on it!

Distance would be doable. Can you please share some detail about the car? Do you have some photos? Price?

Cheers

I'm in North West London. Which X5 you have?

Thank you for your replies. I have money aside for warranty and repairs ... this isn't my first car, just first BMW 

I know it's not the biggest budget (even if I stretch to £12k), but it should be doable. Happy to wait for the right car ...

Hey everyone I've been on here as a guess for long time, whilst researching my first BMW  :) I'm still torn between X5 and Touareg (I know they are quite different), but if the right X5 will come I'm going for it. I've seen a few, but they all had some problems with them which put me off. Anyone kno...
