I know the in tank pump is a weakness on 100% SVO. Most of the BMW forums recommend a solid state Facet pump which they say solves the problem. I am presently running the car on a 50/50% SVO/diesel mix. I go up to 75% in the summer. Been running it for 18 months or so. No real problems. I...

I have got standard 16" wheels. At normal height from the ground to the top of the ball (with swan neck fitted) is 45.5cm. Mine is calibrated correctly. The handbook says tow at normal height.

Or fit the Allisport one which looks identical to the original. The pipe stays in place but doesn't go anywhere. No one is any the wiser.

Does anyone know how and why the updated receiver works better? It must work on the same frequency as the old one otherwise the key fob would not work with it. Presumably the latest circuitry is not affected by other signals which are close to the key fob frequency? Any radio hams on here or...

Check the rivets in the rear trailing arms. The arms are a composite and secured by a couple of large rivets. I have heard of them developing a bit of play. it is usually a loud clicking noise.
