Well..... kind of! 
 

picked this up on EBay for £30. 
Jacob is only 11 weeks old, he will grow into it! 
... and the headlights are brighter than the wifes e53! 
 

Wow Dave, sounds like fun with the halos. 
this one has them fitted so I’ll leave them in. God shout about the led bulbs, I didn’t think of that. 
I’ll  get some and report back! 
cheers

Afternoon Dave, thanks for the reply. 
the car is mine in the pic. I was thinking they were aftermarket lamps too. I think I might put some original ones in as I can’t see a thing! 
thanks for the advice, I have used quarry before for one of the e36’s 

..... are utter poo! 
 

can the standard headlights be upgraded on a 2002 model?

apparently it has projector lamps. I have seen brighter caves. 
 

is it a straight swap for hid or too much hassle? 

Gave it to my friend .... I had to get an x5 as the new sons pram won’t fit in the e46. Lol

Awesome! 
thanks for that, I’ll give it a go later

thanks Dave. 

Dave, 

thank you for your great reply. 

I am using a c110 scanner, it works wonders but I could do with the bmw one that everyone talks about... the 1.4.... 

mall the sensors are clicking and all sound the same, so I can’t seem to find the weak one. 

Ill get the other scanner and see what pops up. 

Thanks again! 

Hi, 

i have had a few BMW’s but I now have my first x5. Its an e53 2002 3litre petrol, manual. 

Anyway. Simple question about parking sensors.... as always, by sounds of it. 

Sorry if I need to post this somewhere else

the system doesnt beep when I reverse. It beeps for a few seconds when I engage reverse and the light on the centre console flashes. I have checked the sensors and they are all clicking, front and back. 

I have plugged in the obd scanner and no codes are thrown up, I cleared them anyway, but still nothing. 

Any ideas, and please feel free to move this post if needed.

thanks.
