Hi all, 

Looking for someone who may have done this already. I'm looking into Stage 1/2 for my car but wanted to first explore increasing the electric output by adding more Batteries (Tesla for example) Can anyone give advice on Batteries and best practice when installing!

Welcome to the Forum

That is an interesting idea, there are a number of things that come to mind that would need consideration.

There are I am sure regulations somewhere about how secure the batteries need to be, but that aside 

How much will extra batteries weigh? I don't know the weight of the battery pack currently in your car but extra weight will effect handling and brakes.

I wonder if the current batter pack could be substituted for one with a larger capacity, say  70 kWh increased to 100 kWh 

I think we need an EV specialist on board here

Dave

      Thanks for the reply Dave, I'll have a nose around when I get the chance. As long as it's nothing urgent. 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
