Hi,

I am new to the club but have owned my BMW X5 (E53) 3.0 Diesel for almost 2 years now, i have heard that you can get better MPG and power gains from the car by fitting an exhaust and an induction filter, and from checking around on the web the only downside is a bit more of a sportier noise (and the Price!) Now mine is a school bus so the sound level has to be not much more than standard otherwise my wife wont drive it ! (This bit was the maker or breaker for me ?) i have found a few options for the exhausts.... induction kits.... Not so many....?

The exhausts seem to be priced on the high side of things, compared to other manufacturers exhausts anyway ? and im sure the BMW badge has something to do with it ?? but in fairness... the X5 does seems to have the equivalent of 2 exhaust systems (One for each side)

After scouting for my options the most sensible and cost effective options seems to be Cobra Sport @ 595 or Blueflame @ 755 ? others like Supersprint, Remus want just under 1000 pounds ! LOL ! (And they all look the same?)

You can view and even hear these exhausts on -

http://www.cobrasport.com/exhaust/BMW/X5/10/0/0

I have to say they do look great as the tailpipes come through the bumber.

After picking myself back up off the floor i decided to contact the cobra company to see if i could get the price down any more (I have run a few group buys before for other things and normally it can make a difference?) as long as we could get more buyers on side.

hence my post -

I talked to a nice guy there called Pete who said we could get the exhaust for 450 pounds if we buy 5 exhausts at once.... ( 150 pounds saving !! )

Now obviously i will be 1 of those. The rest is down to you....

Please let me know if there is any interest in this ? or if there is any better buys out there ?

Thanks

Toby

      Low Oil Pressure Light on E90

      ***OIL PRESSURE WARNING SOLVED***BMW E90 with same issue. Intermittent Oil Pressure Warning light for around a year. No performance issues or strange noises.Started when slowing down coming off highway and then progressed to when driving around town as well.Tried a can of Wynn's Super Charge Oil Treatment and after a few days light stopped coming on around town but still after highway driving. Bought another can and poured that in and six months later no warning lights. Guessing will have to do this again after next oil change but so far so good. Car running and sounding better also.

      Can a VIN decoder really help me check a car’s history?

      Hi David Welcome to the Forum A Vin decoder is a useful tool as it lets you know what was on the original cars build sheet but that only tells you what toys it should have. As its a 2021 car it will have had one MOT which hopefully is clear of any advisories, you can check recall and MOT at www.gov.uk/check-mot-history Next check all tyres are correct and in good condition odd or mismatched tyres can cause havoc with Transfer cases Transmissions and diffs. The rest is History History History plus making sure everything works as it should Good Luck Dave

      Can a VIN decoder really help me check a car’s history?

      Hey everyone, I’m thinking about buying a 2021 BMW X3 and want to make sure I’m covering all my bases before making a decision. I’ve heard about VIN decoders and how they can give you details about a car, but I’m not sure what kind of info they actually provide. Do they show anything useful, like accident history or open recalls? Or are they just for basic specs? If you’ve used one that worked well, I’d love to hear about it and any tips for getting the most out of it. Thanks so much!
