No, the X5 uses automatic differential braking, which sends power to the tires that have grip by individually braking the tires that don't.

Open the hood and look straight across to where the windshield meets the engine bay. There will be a black rectangular box with three knobs (one on the left, right and center). Turn the knobs 90 degrees and remove the cover straight toward the front of the car. Then you can pull out the microfilter element and replace it. Reverse the steps and you're ready to breathe fresh air in your car...

Seriously, can you not pick up the phone and ask your local tire shop? Geez, shop apround. Shouldn't be more than 70 bones.

Actually an X5 alignment is $800 at a BMW dealership according to the estimate I have from 4/08/10. The X5 has a double ball suspension, and a steering angle sensor and associated DSC/ABS modules that complicate it, BUT 8 bills is ridiculous, find and indie shop and it should cost about half that.

On this specific vehicle, it is located under the vehicle on the passenger side, in the rear bottom of the motor, near the bellhousing. It is much easier to see it if you remove the starter. Actually, it will be a lot easier to replace if you remove the starter. Carefully remove the 3 pin connector so that it doesn't break. Then remove the bolt holding the connector and twist the sensor as you pull it out. Hope this helps.

you do not ever have to replace the battery because there is no servicable battery to replace, there is a capacitor inside the key and that is used for the buttons to unlock and lock the. the way the capacitor charges is when its in the igntion and the key is turned on a antenna ring charges the capacitor. if the key does not work you may have to drive the vehicle a while, about 30 mins to charge the capacitor, or you may have to reinitalize it ( see dealer), or the key itself may just be defective and have to replaced.

The X-5 (and other BMWs) could easily have the Comfort Access option where you can leave the key in your pocket or bag and open/close and start the car without putting the fob in the ignition. These "keys" DO NOT charge in the ignition, they contain finite life batteries that need to be changed when they die. Easy process that's noted in the manual.

If you can afford a BMW then you can afford to take it to a BMW dealership to replace the alternator. Cold blooded answer. I will research (and if necessary replace one) and place proper information on replacing a BMW Z4 roadster alternator. Original answer obviously given by someone with perceived wealth envy. I am currently replacing the alternator in my 2001 525i, E39 chassis. I will add my progress with instructions here. This is NOT the water cooled unit. The first thing that I did was to disconnect the battery. Next, remove the air cleaner housing. this was achieved by loosening the hose clamp to the air intake, removing the 10mm securing bolt and then removing two 8mm screws that secure it to the "second section" of the air intake unit. There are also two clamps that should be flipped out of the unit using a flathead screwdriver. The air cleaner housing should then lift out.

Typically,all radiators are the same.

First, I would make sure that you didn't over fill the radiator AND the overflow, that tends to make some of it leak out.

Yes. However, since the battery is located in the spare tire compartment, under the loading dock, you will need to use the two terminals under the hood to attach the jumper cables. On my 2001, under the hood, on the driver's side, on the firewall there is a RED plastic cover with a "+" embossed on it. Open it and you will see the Positive Battery Connecton. The Neg or Ground cable can be attached to any ground, but a post is provided near the same location, under the hood, driver's side, next to the top strut attachment site. These two posts are only about 12" apart on my vehicle. Hope this helps.

this is just like any other alternator on any other car. first disconnect battery, next remove the serpentine belt but make note of its routing so you will know how to install correctly. next the alternator is located on the left bottom on the engine. sudjest removing from the bottom, remove connector and main chargine wire from rear of alternator, unbolt bolts and remove alternator, if this seems to complex then take it to a BMW dealer to have it performed, also i recommend a approved BMW alternator, prefer actual BMW one.

Well the Infinti FX is your best bet if you need an SUV but want something that drives like a car. However, the Infinti has almost no ability off-road and the ride is on the sporty side. The Volvo is a great choice, as long as you get the T6 or V8. The base engine is just too slow. It rides nice and you can get a third row. Plus you know that a Volvo is gunna be super-safe. I have a T6 and I like it a lot. The lease is almost up and I have no idea what to replace it with. The BMW is most expensive, however, it is the nicest I think. I am very partial to BMWs and the X5 is the perfect blend of a car and a SUV. Also, the X5 (and all BMWs) have free scheduled maintenance. 4 years/ 50,000 miles. Everything is free, including oil changes, wiperblades, brakes. All you pay for is gas and the tires. Plus BMW is changing the X5 for the 06' model year and will be offering great deals on 05' models. If I HAD to pick, I would go for the X5. All of them are great cars though, you can't go wrong with any of the three.
