Well I was feeling smug as the X has been running so well but it must have been talking to Stu's 😁

Wednesday the passenger rear suspension decided to inflate to the max 5" higher than the drivers side had to drive home but because the cassis is being twisted it begins to rapidly wear the inside edge of the passenger rear and the outside edge of the drivers front !!

New tyres are booked anyway but could do without this. Get home OK next morning plug in and using ISTA look for issues a few I knew of (Glow plug controller and rear fog light) but no air suspension errors darn. Ride height sensors tested OK Compressor OK Control Unit OK ?? So into the diagnostic's program and calibrate and reset the ride height. Then an hour ago it did it again passenger side to the max but this time the airbag gave up and burst. 

Looks like I have a fun week ahead first find out why ? Then replace the airbags and reset everything again maybe change the ride height sensor as a precaution

Update later

      Speedo display

      Morning Peter Welcome to the Forum The only thought I have is you have an Analogue Dash (fixed Clocks) and you have seen cars with Digital Dash panels ? To go the BMW OEM route I think would be expensive to say the least £££ I have read of a company in the UK who have developed Digital Dash retrofit kits called Demonized UK. From what I have read they are very good though I have never seen one or used them may be worth a Google search Nice Motor by the way ENJOY Dave

      Speedo display

      I have just purchased a x6m50d which is absolutely lovely. I noticed on few other cars the same as mine that the clocks are a different display? Can I change the look of the clocks. Someone said that you can download an app which will give you different clocks and also make the ambient lighting brighter in the car is this correct. Thank you Leter
