Engineers and technical folks get disbarred for RTFM. That why we're members of this forum..... :whistle:

@pvr Congrats on your new toy too, and welcome to the '40d' club... :thumbsup:

[quote=""pvr""]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 :)[/quote]

Have you chistened it with mrs PVR yet ?

Carbon Black is rather blue, isn't it :)

Thought it was going to be more black, it is not much different from midnight blue.

The dealer set all key options I wanted, except the folding mirrors that they could not do. Everything else I asked for (wiper finishing swipe, doors unlock at engine off) all there.

Congratulations PVR. Can't wait to see the photos. From your previous thread I recall the car is very well specified.
