‘Adding Value’ at service!
I’ve had the same Merc dealer giving me a scare about a fault in a similar ‘inspection’ which I decided to ignore, and the same dealer to NOT issue such warnings in later years. And the is still fine

Continuing the gloss black theme
The gloss black looks nice you’re sticking to the red colour theme i see . Personally I’d have gone for a beige or white interior (my 640i had ivory white and loved it). Car looks amazing

Continuing the gloss black theme
Wow 👍, love it! Would like to talk to you about the experiment sometime. How long have u had it? Not a fan of the BMW single panel display btw, although this is unfortunately where the world is going.. find it being priority for tech beyond driver ergonomics. Btw I’m on hols and had a horrible exper...

Continuing the gloss black theme
Well the front fogs aren’t about being seen though, the headlights do that well. Not that I’d have done the ‘black hole’ treatment. It is indeed a marmite case I guess

Police vehicle engine failures - N57 series
Well you’d have been ruining the starter motors as those weren’t designed for frequent start/stops. Not to mention strain on battery. 😛 btw I only idled on start because of the battery warning. Whilst on the move I hate start/stop to the extent I start BMWs with two fingers, first finger pushes the ...

Police vehicle engine failures - N57 series
I had an experience with my 6 series convertible, 640i, although I believe I had an N55. Car had a battery warning at start, so when mrs wanted to stop at some corner shops I sat in the car with engine running. And Mrs took her own time of course. After idling for a while longer than expected, where...

Off-brand again 😁
Going off brand again Sold the amazingly beautiful 640i convertible and bought an MX-5. Extreme opposites, over 2 tonnes vs just over 1 tonne kerb weight. Long and wide vs short and not too wide for the road. Every imaginable electronic aid vs even the hood being manually operated😆 Light weight, so ...

Given-up hope of ever coding
Also, I think the later cars’ similar software runs in the cloud or a server at BMW and u have to connect/login online. So it’s no longer downloadable.

Given-up hope of ever coding
Hello mate, I know a guy who can remotely install the software onto a computer of yours. In my case I keep a separate computer for the ESYS & ISTA SW so he rebuilt the computer and installed the sw for me. He could provide a cable too but i already had a cable. Didn’t know him before, so there w...

Tesla prices fall
I cannot agree more. I can’t get over slapping a laptop into the dash and shoving all the functionality into that - what a way to get over inability to design a driver interface
