I have to agree with Dabs, I have driven one a 4.4 I think, and been a long distance passenger.

Im not a fan at all, 5 series all the way..

Had a 530D and loved it until the turbo blew, boot wiring shorted and the iDrive packed up.

Must agree that it was a lovely car to drive; it ate the miles and always left you feeling fresh at the end of a long journey.

But it was starting to unravel so it was assigned to great PX in the sky (for a CRV no less!) Good little car only fault with it? It's not a BMW.

Anyway I've palmed the CRV off onto my wife now and I get her X5 3.0D Sport!

Another excellent car and it's like driving a monster truck after the 5 series!

Had a 3.0 petrol X5 for a few weeks, amazing car to drive, unfortunately had quite a few problems which took the shine off it and the the boss wanted it gone, would deff buy another one, rear bushes can be expensive to replace and can need replacing around the 80k mark i believe

      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

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Errr not clear here Donald Plastic "L's" with short rubber hoses ??? Distilled water/Ionised water should only be used in an old style lead acid battery. The Rad and engine coolining system should be filled with the correct coolant mix to prevent cavitation and the danger of freezing in low temps. Coolant should be part of the cars regular maintenance and changed every 3 years or so. At that time all hoses and connectors should be inspected and changed where necessary to keep everything in tip top condition. Changing parts can cause as many problems as you may think your solving

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Update: I checked my battery and it charged in 5 minutes, so I don't have to find another alternator. All seems to be OK except for the plastic "L"s with a short rubber hose that bypass the HV/AC solenoid. Those get clogged after @ 150,000-190,000 miles (if distilled water wasn't used) and cause air pockets that try to burst radiators. I have a few more brass "L"s, so now I can throw the plastic ones away. I have to be careful I don't fog the windows though, without heat or cool.

      105C thermostat replacement

      You are absolutely right. The strange thing is that when I put the chassis number on the realoem it shows that the temp sensor is not applicable on my vehicle. I will physically check for a sensor. In the meantime, do you think that the removal of the MAP activated thermostat will effect the temp gauge on the dial instrument item 6? I am tempted to add a dummy resistor , 11.5ohms - 13watts , to simulate the MAP thermostat. Your thoughts?
