So I called these guys who supply and fit, it takes about 90 minutes to so a wait service and cost £150 inc VAT to install. https://www.evolveautomotive.co.uk/products/mr-12volt-high-end-bmw-nbt-most-bus-carplay-aa-interface-with-tv-enabler-bmw?variant=47429753274659 Evolve is holding an event tomo...

Stunning Colour combination, shame about the manual seats though

Hate the electric seats in my one. They take ages to do anything. I never even bothered to learn the functions of the buttons to be honest.

Yes please!! Not a fan of black interiors but the V8 will make me forget about that. Engine bay could do with a wash, specially if you're trying to sell it. Saying that, I'll check my engine bay tomorrow.

Nice pictures and looks like the sun came out for the event (terrible weather the day before).

The pressure on my tyres is 3.1 bar. I want to think the higher pressure will protect the wheel from damaging if I hit a pothole. I do not mind replacing a tyre, but I really would not like a damaged wheel. If the roads were in a decent state I would definitely set a lower pressure.

I was there last year and what a disappointment. About 10 Alpinas in the Alpina stand plus few more in other stands. I'd say there were more Alpina wannabes than original ones. Pops and bangs and s**t loud music. Never again.

Also these two tw*ts with UK plates trying to jump the queue at exit.

This is up for sale again, now via CC...interestingly according to the service booklet it hasn't gone the 5 years that was previously thought it hadn't been serviced for, but then the CC listing itself does indicate it has gone 5 years without a service. Confusing much? :eh https://collectingcars.c...

I use the app to share screen from my phone to the iDrive screen when I use Waze. The app also integrates with music apps showing album cover.

Looks like this has been sold but I just found this video on Youtube that could be helpful for future owners:

I'll be moved to Birmingham by early Feb, so hate to think what the B4's insurance will become!

I would like to know too, keep us posted

Damn! That is beautiful! GLWS

However, as soon as the door is opened, the alarm goes off. This can only be stopped using the functioning remote key. Locking the car using the remote will arm the alarm, so if you want to use the valet key you need to lock the car using the cylinder lock. If the alarm goes off you won't be able t...

Yes that's what I meant. My bad, sorry. It is £10k now but it was 6 at one point.

D5 2016 30k £42 (now dropped to £38)
D5 S 2019 15k £48

Am I missing something here? Not to mention they are F and G series.

I'm not really a big fan of black alloys or white cars unfortunately!

Me neither but this one just looks really good. Not fan of blue interiors either but in my opinion this just looks great.

Also, as John suggested, you really want to install PPF on the front of the car.
