  2. BMW X Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of X Series
    I bought an X5 back in Feb, which had a set of 4 Accelera Iotas on it, and from what I gathered, the previous long term owner had fitted a few replacements of the same make in the past. I had never heard of Accelera before, and in fairness as we have had a wide variety of weather conditions...
