FSR I think a place called www.c3bmw.co.uk do em

I have the oem 4.8is mufflers/tips fitted and the inside paint on one tip has also peeled off.So ,even happens with Bmw tips.
Just sand it down.degrease it and apply some "wurth" black HT spray and you are sorted.

Never had a moments problem with my X5 3.0d except for an annoying and intermittent "check oil level" false warning since the last service.
Other than that I still feel amazed when I drive it. It always feels like I am driving someone else's car!! I can't believe I own it

Love my X5
Had the same false"check oil level warning!The oil level was between the lower and higher marks,so no reason for it to throw a light

Do you have any warning messages on the OBC?
Hook the X5 to a diagnostic machine and read the codes.It could be a number of things!
What part of UK are you from?I can recommend someone in the Gloucestershire area...
