I'm interested to know what others think of it and whether or not BMW might consider licensing...

Does fit X5

Absolutely! I used these on my 2001 X5 4.4 sport and they worked great. They will fit the X5 3.0 just fine too, but not the 4.6is and 4.8is (I think they need 18-inch rims or larger to clear the...

Enclosure materials

I don't think that's true. This is one is MDF that has been painted with Rhino Liner type stuff and I'm almost positive they still make them this way today. This sub is totally awesome the way it is,...

I took one wheel/tire to my local UPS store and was quoted $36.14 shipping to 80219 for each wheel/tire. The set of four would therefore be $144.56. This is for UPS Ground with their minimum...

Good point.

Had the 545 been kept below 5000 RPM I suspect it wouldn't have won. Is the transmission and rear end gearing different in the diesel than the other 5-series? Surely it must be to...

Right on the money Fredo

:iagree:

YouTube had a video of a review on the 535 twin-turbo diesel. When it came to performance testing, they put it on the track next to a 545i, which might seem a little unfair considering...

I think they'll probably make the X5 available with the twin turbo petrol motor some day. They've had it in the 335i for a year now and they're making it available in the 535i now, as rwd and awd. ...
