i have my winter wheels coming off tomorrow and get my summer wheels on. I am down south middle of the week onwards so i should be sweet down there as the north east and Scotland will get it. might be a good thing if you got xdrive. I didnt bother with the xdrive as felt heavier and not as fun or could have been just me when i drove that and the rear wheel drive

My car arrived last night. It was almost dark when it arrived so I struggled to check over it correctly. Just managed a motorway run and its a pleasure to drive. Need to swap the wheels for my 664m ones that are sat in the garage. Spent about 20 minutes trying to get music to stream from my phone, but it doesn't work... Only to remember I reset my iphone several weeks ago and wiped all the music off it. Ah, that will explain why it can't find any music to stream.... |

unfortunately it works better with apple than android but with android you get to see full playlists but with apple you cant. Streaming over the bluetooth is sometimes hit and miss so i have bought a apple ipod and have all my spotify tunes saved offline on there. If i ever want up to date or search the web for new tracks i use my android but rarely have to do that but it sometimes crashes and you cant connect to spotify again Enjoy your new toy

Streaming without any music on your phone don't work...
Just want to get out and give the car a full valet. Dealer preps are terrible. My windscreen looks like its been smeared on the inside by a child with dirty fingers |

I’m avidly watching the weather! Fingers crossed it’s just looking wet at the moment, I’m just annoyed it’s gonna be grafted by the time I get it home! |

It's here!!!
It's here, and well worth the wait, 19 miles on the clock and looking awesome. Shame it's raining and I'm stuck at work until late! Still, off tomorrow, told my better half I'll be playing all day...and most of the weekend!

Well I picked her up this evening as I got here earlier than expected. Just done a lap around the Tamar Valley / Dartmoor area on some simply beautiful roads...all I can say is WOW!! I haven't stopped smiling! In my opinion this is everything a BWW, more specifically a 5 Series in M Sport guise, should be. Its the perfect combination of performance and luxury!
As for the Icon lights, they work incredibly well..could see them working independent on a foggy road on top of the moors, could clearly see the beams doing their thing avoiding cars incredibly well indeed, very impressed! Overall I am a happy chappy! The matte black M-perf sills, rear diffuser and black grille on on a sophisto grey car drew a-lot of attention in the dealership from salesmen and customers! Very happy with my purcahse indeed, photos to follow (once I figure out how to post them!) Last edited by Wardy82; 03-29-2018 at 04:46 PM.. |

Happy, happy, happy

Sports electric seats are snug and comfy, shame the thigh extension is not electrically adjustable too, seems a cheap decision. Folding mirrors (auto dipping in reverse) and rear camera work well, although I think the mirror angle in reverse could do with being independently adjustable. Need to remember to keep ththe camera lense clean. Comfort access is great, that said I need to keep reminding myself to lock it as I walk away, boot opens easily, but why not include the auto close function?? Wired in dash cam, nice and simple to passenger footwell. Running on 20” wheels is smoother than I had expected and they look awesome. IDrive 6 is leaps ahead of the iDrive I had in the F10. Overall I am not just a happy but ecstatic bunny. Last edited by Pimpf; 03-30-2018 at 05:46 AM.. Reason: Adding info |

Good stuff... I can't stop driving mine - proving expensive at the moment! To upload pics I think you need to scroll down the page a bit when you post/reply and then click "manage attachments" or something like that; You may need to resize them as the site doesn't seem to support large pics.
