u have the bmw oem seat dont you? my max-cosi isofix seats are v heavy, it needs a pair of strong arms and back to move them round. the britax one for 3+ yr old is a bit easier.

Here are the part numbers, please check also if the mounting rubber will need to change as well, when ordering, check with the parts shop:

31 35 7 905 312

33 55 7 906 822

I would recommend 18" forged rims for your ride, remember to use Michelin PS2. The correct tyre setup will be 245/40R18, which should be perfect for 523i engine output with maximum cornering confidence.

Hope it helps.

i was a bit dizzy halfway up, i only survived being lapped by KC up, because the car had a low centre of gravity,
sorry for holding everyone up!

Capt - your exhaust note changed, it is higher pitched now, nice! and wheels were looking nice.
so denting the exhaust must have made it different, it sounded unlike anything i've heard, maybe e46 m3?

Markie- the bodybuilder physique E60, a muscle car!
Will - although not much sound from your car, it rocketted forwards everytime you floored it
Derrick - nice intake sound
Derek- need a new car man, F360 right?
Jacky- need some mods, wheels for a start!
Alan- man your foglights were blinding man, and i think your car was quite rapid!
Stan - you were up my arse on the way up!

sorry but thats the truth.

X5 is abt 7secs= no contest

tomato - look at KC he has no need to change, why bother with a SUV or 7 seater,
rear seats are all useless in the 7 seaters, only for the maid.
SUVs kill the planet, go green man, like me, my car is very lightweight and low on fuel consumption.

anyone need a Britax top model for 5years up contact me, i have one which i never used, it didn't fit!!!
