Seafarer

Welcome mate ..... I took this one for a test drive 4 weeks ago ..... hadn't found anything in over 12 months of looking then bang ..... 3 in a week ..... suffice to say I got one of the other ones ..... your guy definately looked after it

I hopefully pick mine up tomorrow ..... so will post some pics!

PS ..... re your questions

1) when I select reverse, the passenger side mirror does not tilt down automatically

the left/right button to select the mirror needs to be on drivers side

2) I have the common folding mirror problem where if I push the button, both mirrors fold in, press it again the passnger side goes in/out and if pressed again the drivers side mirror goes in/out

as mine is a one owner/bmw purchased mine getting fixed under warranty .....http://www.xoutpost.com/x5-e53-forum/...hlight=gremlin

3) when setting up the memory only the seat and steering wheel are memorised, the side mirrors do not readjust and stay the way they are

?????

4) when taking the key out, the steering wheel stays put whereas my understanding is that it should adjust to make entry/exit out of the seat easier

I think this is a key programing issue ..... I am going to sit down with the bmw tech to go through the options for each key ..... wifes and mine

5) the little led (?) light over the passenger door handle doe snot light up, is there a way to replace this DIY?

?????

6) liftgate hanndle terribly oxidised internally, the lights didnt work and the switch to operate the liftgate seemed to have seized, I bought a new one and it fixed the problem. Just getting it repainted and fitted tomorrow

7) how much more performance does the exhaust provide over standard?

8) generally mechanically it looks good, full bmw service history, however I did have to change the radiator, pressure cap and plastic tank. The oil breather hoses were also badly worn so replaced those too.
