Hi all,

I am new...

I will be purchasing a 2008 X5 3.0d (SE or M Sport not sure which yet) hopefully a 7 seater for the right price.

My question is; what do I need to know, what do I need to be checking, what do I need to be walking away from, what are the common faults, is it a decent car etc... you get what I am saying. I have no real car knowledge, but will be looking at an X5 with an auto electrician.

Any help is much appreciated.

Regards

Chris.

      Copy Ignition Key?

      Thanks Stu. Yes, we had a great time with wee Max. (20 months) They're back in Brisbane now. Thanks for the video. I've followed the install instructions to the letter. (EG disabling the anti-virus & firewall.) The laptop says there are no drivers available. So the AK90 won't connect to the computer at all. I think maybe the driver download might be outdated for Windows 11. If you have any suggestions, let me know mate. Thanks again, Norm.

      X340i Tailgate

      Is it possible to prevent accidental opening of the tailgate on my G01 X340i. Parked the !Removed! thing fairly close to wall yesterday and whilst getting out of the car I must have squeezed the fob and the wretched tailgate began to open. Thankfully it ddidn't do any damage.

      Copy Ignition Key?

      You need to remove the module from the car and scrape the microchips coating to read it. It’s not difficult if you follow the imstuctions

      Copy Ignition Key?

      Hi Norm, great news on the grandchild. Hope you had a great time. here is a video of a great step by step guide. my ews module is on the drivers side footwell… (rhs ) it’s a light grey box, looks like a cigarette box size. it’s a faff to do at the start, but once you understand how to read and write, it’s a breeze.
