Fair enough, if 4 is good 6 is better.

I really like the design of the B58 but did you know the little B48 has some real tuning potential.

Unfortunately not.

Not in a big hurry.

5k would do it. What I paid, plus new rear tyres and a trans service at Hutt Automatics.

I did a bit of work on the X3, I cleaned the MAF, checked the disa which was sticking, I freed it up and then took the car for a decent drive. The improvement was nearly 1.5l per 100kms around town. Part of the issue was that the trans needed a service and was slow to shift up, and that combined with my daughter erratic driving style contributed to the average economy. I also performed and oil change but I cant see how that would have influenced economy. I also had a faulty coil so I replaced it a good second hand one I had. The car was certainly a bit smoother. Its got to go, My wife has her eye on a e92 Wagon.

E83 X3 2.5, M sport. Just had a WOF, no codes, M54, had a recent oil change and trans service. New rear tyres. Leather interior, runs well.

Apologies to admins, I have put this in the wrong section.

One of my KW front struts has blown. I am pretty sure I wont get a warranty on it as I am not the original owner and have no receipt for it. So I need to replace my front suspension with with a good second hand KW V1 strut or more likely a pair, or another type of coilover. I am certified for coilovers so would probably prefer to keep it that way, but would look at set of Bilstein's or konis etc. I realise I could go new, but I will fish around first and see what I catch. What's out there?

It does have a square setup, 245/45/19. I will have a look at the Disa, I rebuilt the one in my beloved old E46. I had a look underneath today and I looks like I have the old oil filter housing leak. I did the Vanos seals on the E46, not sure I am that keen to do those again.

My 3.5l Toyota Highlander got better economy that this X3, and she was a big old thing.

I bought a 2.5l M54 X3 for my daughters. Yes I have twins. They just got their learners and they have already done about 500km in the X3. I didn't pay too much for it and it had a fresh warrant and its got a nice spec, no sunroof, m-sport and most importantly heated seats.. I had the trans serviced, as it was holding gears and was slow to change up. The service helped, and it changes up earlier. What I have found is that it gets really poor fuel economy. Around 13.5 to 14l/100kms. This is not what I expected. I was thinking of getting the injectors cleaned, replacing the o2 sensors, cleaning the MAF sensor and throttle body, new plugs, new fuel and air filter , as well as an oil change. I have driven it by myself, just a normal combo of motorway and urban running. The economy doesn't change much between myself and the girls. Am I chasing my tail here, are they really that thirsty?

Who is the dealer?

Funny, at one of the reveal videos, I turned it off when it said, 2.4 tons.

Finally working, I will post some pictures soon.
