Re: 2016 X5 4.0D

It is likely not the case; I am uncertain, as they all possess tread yet vary in brand and tread design. Predominantly all pre-owned components from the prior proprietor. I aimed to evade expending £1000 on new or identical tires all around, in case it was merely a transfer case service. However, I ...

2016 X5 4.0D

The vehicle has 57,000 miles and experiences a minor shudder when accelerated aggressively in lower gears; a scan via Bimmerlink indicates gearbox error 440011, suggesting the gearbox is nearing the end of its lifespan, though no warning lights are illuminated. When I operate the vehicle normally, i...

Drain plugs with mesh are present in both my 2004 330 Coupe and my son's 2005 325 Coupe.

Re: Plug for draining

Greetings and salutations. I appreciate you contacting me. I have tried searching for the part number using the real oem method, but when I do a Google search, the part that appears does not match the one that was there. Obviously, any water can drain out of the plug because it has a mesh in the mid...

Plug for draining

Hey there! I'm on the hunt for the two drain plugs that fit beneath the E46 coupe's battery tray in the trunk. Even BMW's official dealer was of little assistance. I would be eternally grateful if someone could tell me the name of the supplier or the component number for them. Regarding any assistan...
