Hi Daniel

Welcome to the Forum

Seems your Dealer over there are just like ours !! I would say as a recognized parts supplier that you should be OK with MOOG. 

Dealers do tend to have an arrogance at times after replacing the control arms twice (my 4.6is is 17 years young) I replaced the control arm bushes with Powerflex Poly Bushes.

My car was in the Dealer for the Airbag recall the Service Manager came to me and said "you do know your car is fitted with non standard parts which may compromise your safety" I asked him what the service life was of OEM parts against the Poly Bushes. He admitted he had no idea, so I asked him why M sport use Poly Bushes in their competition cars. He walked away and brought my car to reception. 

Enjoy your X5

Dave

      04 525d

      Hi all, I have an 04 525d that I’m looking to get rid of. It has been well used and served me well but unfortunately I’m not willing to spend any more on it due to the age. It has 185,000 on the clock and recently failed it’s MOT due to perished ball joints. my question is, is it worth trying to mess about and sell it or just scrap it? any advice would be greatly appreciated. cheers

      Coolant leak

      Morning Kev Welcome to the Forum I am aware that the plastic return pipe (Header Tank to Rad) on the E53 became very brittle and was easily damaged. I replaced mine with 10mm Copper Tube after a long wait for replacement. But I was not aware, or haven't heard of X3 issues here in the UK I guess that you will need more from US based owners Dave

      Coolant leak

      Hi, quick query if anyone has experienced this issue. Purchased an X3 S drive 20I brand new, delivered on the 18/3/2020. All services conducted when required by dealer. Last service (major) was done on the 9/4/24. Approx 1 week later coolant leak was discovered. Vehicle towed to dealer, cause was cracked coolant pipe . Informed part would take 2 week delivery time ( ex Germany) at cost of $800. Vehicle has just under 30,000 on clock. Any input greatly appreciated. Thanks
