I've had a few mercs over the years and to be honest, as good as my e is (new shape version), I've got a bit bored of them. The 535d seems to be a great compromise between power and economy.
I've a couple of questions before I actually order though.
1. I've gone for the pro sat nav with rear screen entertainment package along with 6 DVD changer. Will DVDs actually play on the front screen as well as the two rears?
2. What the hell is a universal remote?
3. I've gone for 19" wheels but I notice they are run-flats, will my non run-flat
Winter tyres (19") be able to be fitted or do I have to get new winter tyres?
4. Do I need to order anything other than just a cable for my iPod to work with the above sat nav?
5. Is the sports gearbox worth the £110 extra
No doubt I'll think of other questions, but these are my main ones. I know how annoying at can be if you get things wrong at order time so big thanks to any of you guys who can help out with these questions. |
1/ DVD will play on front screen stationary NOT moving.
2/ Universal remote NOt required.
3/ Your NONE run-flat tyres will fit but what happens if you get a puncture?.
BMW recommend 245/45/18 RUN-FLATS all round for winter set-up.
4/ Yes provided you have the option on the car.
5/ Sport auto is a MUST have, you can then adjust suspension gear train and steering independently.
I have the only 550i M Sport in the UK, soon going to listers at the end of the year for the new X3 M Sport
35D fully loaded, it arrives December/Jan.
This new engine with the 8 speed gearbox is stonking quick, 313BHP and 630NM torque. You will not miss the E62 AMG apart from crappy economy.
The torque of the 35D engine is huge.
