Re: A 'hello' and a small rant
Hi, I've got an X6 too and was like you, thinking of getting a dash cam for mine. As a matter of interest what type of camera did you get, and is it any good?
thanks
thanks

Re: A 'hello' and a small rant
I have a Roadhawk HD plus power adapter in mine. The power adapter is for making sure the camera shuts down properly when the car is switched off.

Hi guys!! I haven't deserted, 535dboy didn't put me off, quite the opposite in fact, he's a cheeky chappie and didn't offend me in the slightest- I'm not one of these bra burner types!
Mini Ice Queen was poorly so didn't have time for t'internet.
Hello XEdge, good to see another newb like myself- the dash cam hasn't arrived yet but I got it from seller prostoragers on ebay and its Dual Lens so you can have one in the back and one in the front
Some git in a fiesta laughed at my lovely X6 yesterday, I waved and laughed back which seemed to work - any other tips on dealing with that kind of attention?
How are you all?

Re: A 'hello' and a small rant
With a sizeable washer resorvoir under your bonnet some
might want a free car wash. Rear washer could be set up like a water cannon. Of course I don't advocate child like or inappropriate activities.
Talking of inappropriate - 535dboy will be like Kieth Lemon on Prozac now....Fasten your seatbelts.

Re: A 'hello' and a small rant
No rear systems fitted to the X6........neither wipe nor wash. Annoying really as you need to be up to a reasonable speed to keep the screen clear! I'm sure BMW could have found a solution other than nothing.

Yes, it is annoying. I keep going to use the washer like I used to in the X5; it's such a small area that one needs it to be clear!

Re: A 'hello' and a small rant
There isn't one on the new F16 either!

Re: A 'hello' and a small rant
That's annoying.......perhaps it's for rear impact pedestrian collision injury reduction 
Above may seem like nonsense but makes more sense than BMW oversight or bean counters at work....clearly such issues would never be factors
Even my neighbours old £200 micra (which costs more than its value to get through each mot), has a rear wiper.

Good, AW8 gets a bit over protective some times, I blame his day job!
Don't worry about the others but I'm fine, thanks for asking. Fly back today so not looking forward to the change in temperature!
What is with the user name? One of the guys in my 'racing' group had a white 911 turbo which was quite modified. We used to call it the snow queen.

Oh and as I'm bored waiting for the chauffeur to pick me up
We have a pic of you so I feel that it is only fair that I put a pic of me up so our relationship can blossom.
