Morning all.

I think the X5 may have the better of me and i just cannot sort out the running issue i have with it.  Can anyone recommend a good garage that knows the BMW V8 engine.  I am in Castleford, West Yorkshire but will travel if they are a definite bmw x5 or V8 specialist.  Seems problem could be CVV, CPS, CATS, VAC LEAK, COILS, PLUGS, WIRING ETC so i think its about time an expert looked at it.

Any help greatly appreciated

Do you have a misfire at certain road speeds ? what exactly are your symptoms ?

hi, this thread explains it all  :'(

The first suggestion on that thread seems like the most obvious. Most garages can do a simple pressure check to see if one of the cats is blocked.

try mad4mini in hunslet , I take my x5 there , and my previous e46 ,
both owners are ex bmw techies, and they both know there stuff

Hi Steve, i have used mad4mini for my cooper S?  Will give them a call tomorrow as they were great, never thought about using them for the X5
