Hah. I did exactly the same thing last week. Same story too. Had to go with clear :’(

Red zone is 125c iirc.

Remove cabin filter housings, and you'll find some rubber drains. These block up with leaves and General grime. Check them and the openings they drain in to. If they block, you'll get a footwell full of water. Common e39 problem.

Hah. I use mine all the time. Toasty is good.

Agree. My next vehicle will likely be a V8 E60 msport

Quite simply it won't. And it never would have even in factory guise (out of the box multi use vehicle). However that Bush pig owed me about 5k all up, wasn't exactly specialist except for tyres and lift springs. Pretty weak as far as 4x4 goes as they are ifs. My point was that clearly an x5 is NOT a 4x4. Yes, they are a premium off road vehicle, and as such should be able to handle farm roads and puddles like the OP, However drawing a comparison between them and proper 4x4s as has been done elsewhere in this thread is ridiculous. No one in their right mind would expect an x5 to survive our local mud pit.

Still like to see one keep up with a lifted terrano on 31" mudders in a waist deep mess of mud soup. In saying that, for the coin charged for them, I'd hope they were reasonably capable on paddocks and sand etc

M62b44

Cam sensor would leak if I t wasnt torqued properly. Can't really tell from the pics though. Looks like a solenoid

Actually, have heard good things about them too

Type 3's are choice but then I'm biased.

Yes I agree. From memory it's just hooked up to the afm. I mean why????

Used midas thorndon quay previously for my subie. Did a good Job, though no bumper cutting required

It is an m60 and the bug catcher is functional. It's been on trade me before.

6.5 should get you a manual easy. Talk to Ray @ hellbm

Mirror fell off in my hand. Bought some special glue and stick out back on. Also drove it

B30

Why not an m52b28 with an m54b39 rotating assembly ? Straight swap and significant gains I believe

M50 mani good for race car, but sit for road car?

Hmmm. Manual touring? Yum.

B7 RS4? agree lights look Audi

Definitely BMW V8, would recognise that starter anywhere.

No gasket or o ring, is clipped into the shroud

Not sure if it does on your m50. Does on my m52

Love your work Steve. :-)
