That went about as well as you can imagine.


I'm trying to torque down the control arm to subframe bolts on the rear of my E70. I can't fit my torque wrench between the bolt and the obstructions (parking brake cable on the eccentric bolt, a cable keeper on the other. How are you guys getting this done? Specific type torque wrench?

I should have researched better. Anyone know a trick to getting the wheel to straighten enough to get the front ball joint to line up?

They've been very helpful but cant guarantee the OBD Monitors will all be "Ready" with the tune.
Anyone here running either of their tunes, and willing to check the status of their monitors?

Much appreciated! ]]> X5 (E70) Forum hellspcangel911 https://xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/x5-e70-forum/116618-dudmd-tunes-35d.html https://xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/x5-e70-forum/116609-any-experience-cheap-ebay-inner-tail-light-replacements.html Fri, 12 Jun 2026 18:16:04 GMT Title pretty much says it all. Guess I'm curious if anyone has gotten these how they match the original lenses, is the coloring/gloss spot on, slightly off, etc. Same with light pattern of the LED stripes. Look factory or noticeably different?

And if anyone has had them a while if they faded or experienced any other issues. At $60 they are less than a third the price of the Magentii Aftermarkets FCP Euro sells, and about a 5th the cost of genuine.

And then there is the 'intermediate priced option' on Amazon as well..

I'm sure you probably get what you pay for, but thought I'd ask anyway.. ]]> X5 (E70) Forum Best4x4xFAR https://xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/x5-e70-forum/116609-any-experience-cheap-ebay-inner-tail-light-replacements.html
