Not a bad car to have a life sentence on.Only problem with getting an X5 or similar it’s very difficult to go back to something smaller, so you get a life sentence lol
Yea huge money new, £225 per side I believe. Probably because they come on the X5M, so a bit of M tax.@greyfloppyhat what sort of money can you usually find them for? I was looking on Bimmerpost but it seemed to be huge money through a forum member from memory . They would be ideal to replace my trim
New engine and the extra gears make them a lot sharper than the old ones of the same badge, or even the next badge up.Yeah it’s the 30d. Coming from a 40d I thought I would notice a big difference but there isn’t much in it to be honest

When the suspension and box are in sport it's shocking how well they hide their size.
What are your thoughts on it over the E70?
Did you have dynamic ride control in yours?I found the F15 to be a lot softer and floatier than the E70 that I had. Yours probably won’t feel too floaty though with the big wheels and lowered suspension.
Popping it in sport would make a big difference, it really firms it up. Almost too much on some roads.My E70 had dynamic suspension from memory, it’s a while ago but think I drove it in sport a lot. Found the F15 I test drove to be quite floaty on poor roads and leant a lot more in roundabouts.
The shopping trolley squeal. The only way i have ever cured it on previous BMWS of mine was Fit new genuine disks and pads. Common across the range but non genuine disks and pads make it 10X worse from experience.Squealing brakes - What is the best cure for this? Happens after the car has been sitting a couple of hours - is there anything that can be done/applied to prevent or is it just something to be expected. I had it on the e70 too when you first get in it but it seems way louder in the f15 - even the neighbours know when I’m leaving the house

Makes sense thanks for that! Sounds like a mk2 escort pulling up to the first stage .
If that’s the only cure I may live with it a while until I need to change them
