3 issues already only after 629 kms !!
 

hey guys .. ive only driven my x5 for 629 kms and it already has 3 issues ..

FIRST ISSUE : i noticed today while i was reversing out of the house , the right side mirror tilted downards to make reversing easier but when i looked at the left one , it hasnt changed positions .. anyone experienced this before ? are they both meant to move or only the right one ?

2ND ISSUE : yesterday when i opened the tailgate (manual) , i noticed that one of the "thing" wasnt exactly inside the hole (SEE PICTURE) but the other one was .. i tried my best to squeeze it in but made no use ..

3RD ISSUE : the brakes on this car are fantastic but ive never seen a cars rims with more brake dust than mine !! anyone know how i can minimize this ?
Also , the front wheels seems to have more than the back wheels (SEE PICTURE) .. is it meant to be ? or am i experiencing a problem ?

Thanks all in advance :thumbup:

1) both mirrors don't tilt only the passenger one, read the manual.
2) rubber grommet popped out, pot it back in or have the dealer, or someone in your entourage, do it.
3) you can apply Zymol wax to the wheel to repel and make removal easier, however the only remedy is changing the pads.

thanks wagner ..

where can i change the pads ? i received "BMW Rim Cleaner Gel" when i got the car .. does that also repel the brake dust ?

about the rubber grommet , i think ill let someone from my entourage do that ..

thanks

Hey KaiFy wants with the plastic still on the seats.?

A cleaner will not repel dust.

:iagree:

i havent had time to take off the plastics in the seat but i should be able to do it tonight

:tsk:

> the front wheels seems to have more than the back wheels (SEE PICTURE) .. is it meant to be ?

The front wheels of most cehicles take a much larger percentage of the braking load due to normal physics, therefore more brake dust.

Change the brake pads to aftermarket.
