Didn't replace the springs but did replace subframe bushings. It was a bear of a job all said and done- and I had all the right tools. I couldn't imagine doing it without them.

Nice hand made!
I have seen much worse examples for mirrors! Probably he has been 'taken' 5 times to decide make this

No picture to share but has anyone see "London has fallen" movie? There is an E53 used in a chase sequence.

My X5 got "sold" from under me!

Got notified today that my X5 was sold from under me. WTF!!!!

When I chased up the details, I found it was a data entry error and the actual vehicle ownership change that should have taken place was a 2005 BMW 5 Series 3.0d in silver (and not my 2005 BMW X5 3.0d in Stirling Grey).

I tracked down the offending vehicle that caused me and my family hours of grief - can you spot the cause?

Ownership now resolved and I still have my fantastic X5 in the driveway - phew!

That's no 5 series. That is an E90, funny mix up due to a typo nonetheless.
