BMW E70 Air Suspension
Well that was fun first ISTA wouldn't acknowledge the EHC (Electronic Height Controller) took it out cleaned the pins back in now I could see it but it wouldn't allow Calibration ?? So go at it from a different angle inflate airbags individually. All of a sudden back to normal, ride height recalibrated 🤣 Hope thats the end of the story Dave -

New Member Just sharing an Intro
Cheers Stu Thanks for the info. I'm originally from close to that neck of the woods. Driving over to Hull with it is likely to be a challenge as its currently SORN and with the engine running rough I'm reluctant to drive that kind of distance. Reckon I'll have to have it collected and delivered somewhere for diagnosis and repair, which may actually open up places around the Hull area I guess. I'll check them out, with one or two other independents that have been shared from a post i made on the 2 series forum. Thanks again for the reply. Cheers - Paul -

X5 electric range
Morning Paul Welcome to the Forum I have no Hybrid experience other than riding in one 😁 Like Manufacturer quoted MPG for Petrol and Diesel models most figures are laboratory maximums (probably with all accessories shut down) and real world driving shows them up. After 3 or 4 years I would expect battery efficiency to have fallen off a little and from what I read most testers have found around 40miles to be a real world optimum. Dave -

suspension / service
Morning Jerry All straight forward stuff, even easier if you have access to a lift. If not the get the car as high as possible and well supported on axel stands. Gearbox I use ZF parts and Longlife fluid last service parts Fluid Filter gaskets etc cost £250 as a kit (Tip make sure you can undo the filler plug first) If your car has Dynamic Drive rear diff it will nave 3 compartments requiring 2 different oils 2 outer chambers use a Carbon Modified SAE 75 80 oil (i buy from BMW it comes in measured .5ltr bottles) the main Diff section uses a standard 75 90 (I use Liquid Moly) same tip make sure you can undo the filler plugs first I know two people who drained the diff and couldn't move the filler plug !! Front Diff Oil and Transfer case fluid I buy from BMW, the transfer case drain plug is a Faff to get to BMW drop the Transfer case support frame, I brought a stubby Hex drive set so I could get at it If you have INPA/ISTA there are Workshop directions and guides Good luck Dave
