also the washer jets on the driver side of the screen do not pump water high enough into the the screen.
i recently filled the washer fluid reservoir with the bmw washer concentrate/water mixture after a low washer fluid warning and it appears the previous owner form whom i bought the car in march has been using tap water.
how do i fix this issue?]]> 5 Sun, 30 Jul 2023 11:24:06 +0000 https://www.bmwland.org.uk/index.php?threads/x5-panoramic-roof-query.4992/ https://www.bmwland.org.uk/index.php?threads/x5-panoramic-roof-query.4992/ invalid@example.com (Richyroos) Richyroos I have just taken on an E53 which has a panoramic roof fitted, Somewhere in the past I seem to remember reading, that they can cause problems opening and closing them.

I have not attempted to open it yet, as the last thing I needed, was to open the roof, and not be able to close it!! Can anyone give me some advice about what does go wrong, and how to deal with it?

Your help would be much appreciated!!

Before I tell you about the incoming motor, I’ll give you a little bit of history and why I am looking to change. My first BMW was an E83 X3,...

Comments / opinions so far:

• Xline trim works well on black, shame the wheel arches aren't painted
• Standard steering wheel looks just as nice as sport steering wheel, but it's thinner to grip
• The headlights have been updated, the corona rings aren't round anymore, more pointed
• The dials have been updated, slightly better the way nav instructions...

We have just swapped my wife's 530D for an X5 Hybrid and I have to say I am really impressed with it and the hybrid technology. My wife only commutes a mile and a bit plus has to often collect our kids from school so this is perfect. Power delivery is seamless. The bit I really like is no road tax (as pre April 2017) and no congestion and pollution tax.

Looking forward to understanding the X5s better - we have had a five series for the last eighteen years!

Cheers,

David]]> 6 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 22:06:04 +0000 https://www.bmwland.org.uk/index.php?threads/the-ex-x-has-turned-up.1948/ https://www.bmwland.org.uk/index.php?threads/the-ex-x-has-turned-up.1948/ invalid@example.com (Phil) Phil

I received this video of the new X2. I'm not in the market for an SUV myself but thought others might be interested.
It looks quite nice and compact for a X series. Not too sure about the roundels on the rear side panels - IMO they detract from the smooth lines of the body.
One on the front and the rear is sufficient, I think.]]> 22
