BMW X5 - ARE THESE XENON'S ?

[garrardrj]

Anyone ?

I think they came as standard and the DRL are the rings around the headlights , just need to be sure

They certainly look it 

Nice motor the X5 35D M Sport and rapid too

DPF always crops up on forums , i don't do the mileage will i definitely get problems ?

We have had a mini which also has dpf and no problems after 4 years ??

Seems a real deal breaker now ! I don't want to spend £23k and then have issues

Those are indeed Xenons, will have Halo's/angel eyes too (the yellow ones on an 09).

I think they'll look identical to this

Give DMS Automotive a call too - they'll do a very neat map, exhaust and DPF delete package which will do the following;

- Make the 30d/35d engine sound a much purer straight six and sound smoother
- Add probably around 50hp in total, maybe more (the 330d engine maps from 241hp to over 300hp with this sort of kit)
- Lose the DPF concerns too and you can do the short journeys without a concern

You are very very likely to get the DPF problems if you don't: let it warm up, take it for a 20mile round trip and do a 'hot' drive above 50mph around once a month or so. I've got a DPF'ed 2.0 TDI in my A3 running Revo stage 1 and I do roughly the same to protect it.
