What did you do to your F07/F10/F11 today?
spawn9076 replied to F10 530d's topic in F07/F10/F11 2010-2017
I've checked it and it all seems ok, I think it's just a abit damp and some grease around as I used copper grease putting things back. I recently had the leg of the car and inspected it as soon replaced my passenger side damper. I have been expecting to give soon. I'm at 90k mileage -

Got the wheels tucked in as close as I could off that's close tolerances. Taken for a spin no issues :). replaced the steering wheel sticker for black. And made some new 3d printed centre caps for the wheels -

you can try downloading the latest firmware from bmw and installing it via usb. https://www.bmw.com/en/footer/software-updates.html good luck its fairly straight forward may or may not fix your issue but wont do any harm to try -
really hard to tell anything from those videos, possible for a leaking vac pipe on one or multiple of the engine mounts or a dead engine mount with the symptoms you've described though

very nice, you must be fairly local to me then, im not to far from cardiff.

Used F10 - M sport - high or low mileage??
spawn9076 replied to Reidy_r11's topic in F07/F10/F11 2010-2017
i bought mine with 72k miles on the clock. never looked back, best car ive owned. i had a younger x1 before it. -
shamefully i haven't been as active as I'd like due to family and work commitments, but i would like to thank for the support I've received and wish everyone a happy holiday season and hopefully a much better 2021.

9.5" rims up front on 520 d m sport anyone else tried it?
spawn9076 replied to spawn9076's topic in F07/F10/F11 2010-2017
if you could help me out in sourcing such equipment, i've had a google but cant find any specific supplier of the upper wishbone for the car this is the closest thing i can find to being able to give any negative camber https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FOR-BMW-5-SERIES-F10-F11-F07-FRONT-RIGHT-UPPER-CONTROL-WISHBONE-SUSPENSION-ARM-/171455872199 -
9.5" rims up front on 520 d m sport anyone else tried it?
spawn9076 posted a topic in F07/F10/F11 2010-2017
hello guys, im thinking about swapping the alloys on my car shortly. I've seen a nice set, up front are 9.5" is this too wide for my mere 520d m sport. I've seen an m5 with 10" rims up front but I'm sure there's some difference there underneath. -
they are both made in the same factory, and to be honest both are really cheaply made. they do the job and wont fall apart but they are really flimsy in comparison to the stock grills. by the £20 ones of ebay theres no difference in the quality

try resseting the throttle response and see how you get on. *edit if this solves it temporarily then possible you need the gearbox serviced

hmmm im at 88k and cant report such a fault i've noticed, i've put 19k miles on it since january and its silky smooth. get the box inspected before further damage occurrs might just be an oil top up as mentioned
