    Hello folks, I'm fairly familiar with BMW diesels having owned a 325d for ten years. I'm looking to get a 8 to 12 year old X5 (so facelift E70) and am wondering what you think. I need diesel for the economy. Would you go 30d 35d 40d or 50d? Presumably they're all pretty similar apart from the...

    I have a 2009 X5 E70 and an "air bag" is leaking. Replacement air springs seem to range in price from about £20 to £350. Is it really necessary to pay around £200 to get a good one? Should I just get a cheap one and accept it might not last very long? Can anyone recommend an air spring for...

    I've recently purchased a 2005 X5 exclusive edition 3.0 diesel. The radio doesn't work and after investigation found the amplifier has been taken out. The only connectors I can see are 3 small plugs and a larger round 5 pin blue plug. These don't appear to fit to a bm54 amp on pics seen...
