Hi Anthony, welcome! :thumbup:

The X5 is a nice car, particularly with the 4.6 - nice to see you going for the "proper one" and not just the run of the mill diesel :yes:

Thank you.

 

i love the M styling on them and the M5 style dash, aswell as the 347bhp v8! 😂

 

I just hear alot of horror storis of the engine chain rattling or the vanos going etc...

just wondered if there is any cheaper way of preventing these issues as they tend to wreck engine!

As with many thinks it's often luck of the draw unfortunately. Just make sure you find a well cared for example with good history and you shouldn't go too far wrong!

      Rear View mirror has come off windscreen screen

      Never experienced this before but the rear view mirror has seemingly parted company from the windscreen. It seems that a round metal disk should be glued in some way to the windscreen and then the plastic housing can be put back. Any experience/instruction out there on how best to go about reattaching this?

      Register new battery

      Morning Steve Where did you get the Battery ? they should have the code. When you say " upgrading " the battery be careful fitting an overrated battery can cause as many issues as a failing one. The correct battery for your car I believe is either a 90ah or 92ah AGM type also check the CCA (ColdCranking Amps) matches I have never used Foxwell to register a Battery only ISTA/INPA but I don't recall needing a 12 digit code just confirmation of the Battery type Have you checked online for any Video help there is a lot out there these days Dave

      BMW M4 seats / Can they be installed in a 1 series

      Morning Kieran Welcome to the Forum This is a new problem, I would start with the power supply where have you taken it from ? If you haven't already I would check a wiring diagram for both models to see where the power was arranged in the M4 and check whether that supply is available in the 140 model. Then check www.realoem.com to see if there are repair/replacement looms available. Your description sounds like a relay is tripping in the power feed Good luck with finding the issue let us know how yoy get on Dave
