just a quick question lads.the car comes with a set of 18 inch alpina alloys on it.unfortunately i noticed 2 of the centre caps are missing.after doing a bit of research on the net i think they are called staggered??????

any ideas where i could get two caps from and also i might sell them as the tyres look expensive.lol.any ideas what they might be worth?they looked in fairly good nick but i wont know for sure till tuesday:-(

if staggered it means the rears are wider than the fronts, ideal for a rear wheel drive car B)

id look into getting the centre caps replaced , id also think about keeping them, you will regret it other wise

      X3 2.0 automatic

      hi , I had very similar problem a while back, and after a lot of testing with vista, it turned out to be a front R/H wheel , speed/wheel sensor. when it all was happing lots of codes were coming up gearbox, diff front and back, transever box,plus many more, didn't look good, but there was one code that repeatedly came up at the top of the list, at this point it was becoming undriveable ,it just didn't seem that a wheel sensor could cause all these codes. So I went got two wheel speed sensor, replaced driver side front, the problem never came back, the sensor controls so many systems ,cleared all codes, happy days, I could have pulled the car apart for nothing, and got nowhere, except an empty wallet. hope this helps you or someone.

      105C thermostat replacement

      As I understand the wiring diagrams and operation Item 9 on the thermostat housing is the sensor which sends its signal to the ECU for interpretation with information from the map sensor. Information from item 12 (1st drawing ) is also used to provide average temp across the cooling system. As far as I am aware the Thermostst is independent of the sensors and operated by expanding wax material internally
