Re: 40d or M50d?

Cheers... that's very useful.

Do you mind me asking what tyre type should be fitted on them (BMW specific variant of say Potenza RFT's) or?

Re: 40d or M50d?

For wear and tear items i don't mind going to my local garage and will always use them irrespective of what vehicle i drive / have... convenience, reputation and being keen to ...

Re: 40d or M50d?

thanks Sid - that's very useful. both 40d and/or M50d's come well equipped... other than decent stereo (which i know BMW is not renowned for unless one has H&K), Comfort seats and folding mirrors, i'm fine. The rest is / would be a bonus! Do you mind me asking how are they mechanically? Anything to ...

Re: Yet another (I'm sure) audio unit advice request

Ta... i know most if not all Android based systems don't support pre amp or amp hence the question. It would be good to know how he did Dynavin system (eg connect to the unit while bypassing the amps). Thx

Thx
