  1. Disc brakes too large. You'll need 17" minimum.
  2. Had a similar problem once or twice with my E60, could only dribble a couple of litres in. It seemed that some pump nozzles just don't like E60s. Used a different pump at a different garage and all was fine.
  3. Hi Does anyone know if Variable Damper Control can be added to the car post production i.e. retro fitted? No VDC is a must? I've owned F10s with & without VDC. Sure VDC is better but IMO not a must. Drive one without (you're unlikely to find one with) and see if you like it - if it's good enough for you, it's good enough. Personally I find the M Sport suspension + 19" wheels too harsh. Can you easily fit a road bike into the boot of the 520d? folding rear seats are an optional extra and very rare. Without them you'll struggle to fit a bike in, depends on the bike, my hybrid only goes in with the folding seats down.
  4. Hi google for "BMW VIN checker" put the last 7 digits of your VIN in there and you will be able to see the build spec of your car. Bluetooth streaming and folding mirrors were optional extras on 2010-2011 cars AFAIK. As for fuel, there's those that do believe in the high performance diesel fuels and those that don't. Some swear by supermarket fuels. You pays your money and takes your choice, V Power nitro+ diesel is about 8p/litre pver standard Shell. I've run 5 series diesels for well over 100k and even running on VPN+ over a 2,200 mile period, I never saw a reduction in fuel consumption which made it value for money. Each to their own. JG
  5. Hi, Is there any way i can move the albums out from USB folder to the main area where the CD copies go? No there is not. I have tried a 64GB USB stick but the car doesnt accept it. Do you know what the max size a USB drive can be? 32GB max.
