Got it

Post by pvr » Fri Mar 16, 2012 9:30 pm

Not got any decent pictures yet as I picked it up at 5 today and it was dark by the time I got back, but what a car ...

Sure is a lot bigger then the old one, but the drive is sooo nice :D

The small touches: The cruise control in numeric values, the cruise control green dot on the speedo that goes red when temporarily suspended, the 8 multi function preset buttons to do an entire function, the navigation system with full post codes, the cameras, the iPhone full integration including charging. Loving them all :D

:worthless: Sorry always wanted to do that :)

No Excuse though......I had a pic of mine before id even got into the dealer.

Depending on the options ordered youve got hours of fun explaining to Mrs PVR all the different toys.......oh and the 8 button presets are linked to the keys too :)

6 months into owning mine i was still getting the "you never told me about that....what else does it do" lol

Just got back from picking up Miss PVR from Uni, so it is filthy at the moment. Loving the toys though, will need to investigate some of them like the heating control via the iDrive which did not quite do what I though it would.

Will get some pictures from the inside shortly :)
