My one is sitting directly on the carpet on top of one of those nonslip mesh mats but don't think it needs it, I absolutely love it, all the cables are gone and we have somewhere for phones to sit also got 4 extra cup holders
I thought at first the magnetic catch on the sliding top was not going to be strong enough when pulling away as it opens so gently by hand but no stays closed just fine
Five USB ports and two 12v sockets

Definitely enough storage for us inside the console, their is also a little shelf on the outside at the front underneath the cupholders that light up,
It came with some extras, a tissue box, light up ashtray that is now a coin box, air vent phone holder, and a freezer gel pack,

Does look a good bit of kit mate nice you can remove it too if you need that center space I saw an original e50 one on eBay but it's bolted in and didn't want that

Hi.

After 2 weeks, I finally changed the electronically controlled hydraulic Tein suspension to standard. Finally, the car normally drives. It is comfortable and pleasant. I dropped blood during replacment and it cost me a tel deal £ 1000. In addition, I removed the radio. Everything is ready to install a new one, but there are other problems. I don't know what to buy. Which Iso wires hornes adapter neet to buy to connect with Xtrons. What do you advise S1. On the back RCA I would like to conect with screen mirroring.

Cheers @Ruzz1 . Definitely got me thinking seriously about one now. Time to count the pennies maybe

Headlights polished to remove yellowness.
PPF applied to headlights so they won't turn yellow again

Strictly not today, but had oil/filter and cvt fluid changed out last Thursday. CVT fluid was dark and not the light-red colour of new fluid. 4.7 litres of 4w-30 oil put in. But battery diagnosed as weak.
May I ask what is the spec for a replacement battery for an E52 3.5?

Hi, could I ask what is PPF? TIA.

Don't Buy Paint Protection Film until you Read This!

Not familiar with PPF? Here’s a quick rundown on what it’s made from, and how it works. PPF consists of an ultra-thin polyurethane, or polymer, which when properly applied by a professional (typically an auto detailing or vinyl installation expert), forms a transparent protective surface layer...

Thank you Stempyuno. Did you apply the PPF yourself? Interested because I am in Australia where sun can be really harsh.

Unfortunately I aggravated my back injury and am still laid up, so haven’t been able to do any more to the Elgrand. Still, the weather has been awful so I can’t complain.

Get well soon

Hi, the plan was originally to do it myself but I paid a garage to do it as it's winter here. The film itself isn't expensive (given how much you need just for headlights).
PPF film stops damaging UV rays getting to the plastic lens which turns it yellow.
I've done this with all my cars and not had any turn yellow. (Longest kept car is 4yrs at the moment).
Prep is key, but expect to replace the film every 5 years minimum.

Checked the oil level (good); checked the valve saver level (good) and cleaned the engine bay a bit.
