Dilemma about the E70 X5. Before or after Lci. (3 litres per day)

I want a 3L X5. Preferring LCI for the 8-speed gearbox, enhanced lighting, and CIC. Extensive study indicates that the timing chain should be replaced every 100,000 miles. Almost all X5 models exceed 100,000. This amounts to 2k or more. There is also a problem with the prop shaft. My intention was t...

Re: F20 D/S window buttons not functional after wing mirror replacement

Re: Conversion of E39 M54B25 to M54B30

You might evade detection since they can own identical plugs.
Uncertain, since I have never undertaken such exchange, but I believe it is worth doing. Best of luck to you, my friend.

Re: Conversion of E39 M54B25 to M54B30

Has the donor vehicle been removed as a precaution?

Re: MB replaced all coolant with RED kind.

Re: EV6 - Left-Hand Drive Components in Right-Hand Drive Vehicles

I had not previously considered the distinction between right-hand and left-hand drive configurations, however for 18 months, I have been rather vexed by the switched steering wheel controls on my two Kias. Due to this discussion, I have discovered that my EV6 is equipped with a steering wheel desig...
