Re: standard bluetooth vs enhanced bluetooth and wireless charging

Re: M50D questions

[quote="MarkG_M50d"] As for enhanced Bluetooth - I've added it on most of my cars. The dual phone hung is handy, if you have work/personal phones is excellent and when out with the wife, to have both connected is a dream.

Re: M50D questions

Re: M50D questions

So I've done the deal with Terry Linford at Arden Maidstone one the specification posted above, he's been really professional unlike my local dealer. I was close to doing the deal with Tony Lewis who has also been really helpful but the deal from Arden was better in the end. Delivery is going to be ...
