Re: Can you stop the music repeating the same album?

[quote="Snerkler"] [quote="Nictrix"] You can definately do it as I ran through every album stored on the hard drive after getting the car. Cant remember if you have to select anything in particular but I dont think I did. Can you not select all albums and start from there? It should then play ...

[/quote] Crikey......that's definately petrol mileage territory. My problem is my mileage can vary hugely depending on ...

Re: 5 year service pack

Exactly.....with more people buying on PCP for 3 years or leasing for 2 or 3 years, they've simply tailored the service pack for what the majority of their customers want. There are too few of us who buy a car with the intention of keeping it more than 3 years let alone more than 5. When I bought my ...

Re: AUC 40D buying advice

Echo what Nat said above. I'm really fussy about spec and colours etc., and I ended up buying new, as after spending 9 months trawling the BMW AUC website on a weekly basis I just couldn't find a nearly new AUC car in anything like the spec/colour I wanted, as far too many cars had the options ...

Plate is YF so probably management car (?)- it has the digital dials that I didnt have on my 16 plate, when did that change?

Re: Towbar advice please

[quote="mogsyman"]
Interestingly I've just and a chat with the supplying dealer and he's quoted £1200 for a removable and £2000 for an electric towbar (which includes cooling etc.)
[/quote]

Yep.....that's why at only £945 it was a no-brainer for me to tick the leccy factory option.
