Depends on the dealer. Mine left Dingolfing on Monday and I was in it on Saturday morning - the dealer said he'd fast-track it so it didn't spend a week at Thorne.

Many thanks, I'll get onto them and chase.
Since getting rid of my RRSport, I'm pootling around in a poverty spec Fiesta I hired (the cost of selling early and hiring outweighed the money I'd have lost in lower residuals), so getting back into a nice car cannot come too soon. |

My car is also in the UK. Spoke to the dealer today, and they thought it may be ready as early as Friday. I have a plate transfer to go on, but I think I'll just pick it up asap rather than hanging around.

New f10
Hi all
Newbie here. Have my car on order and will be delivered on wednesday morning!! Its a 518d auto msport (i know i know sheep in wolfs clothing etc) but its a company car so need low co2 and i preferred extra cash to spend on the few options i could squeeze on our scheme rather than the extra little bit of torque. Am told it doesnt feel much different to the 520. Spec as follows: Space grey with oyster black Comfort seats (compulsory for me - best seats ever) Black panel display Sunroof (another compulsory option) Ambient lighting Delete smokers pack Extra 12 volt sockets Sun protection glass High gloss shadowline trim My first 5 series and coming from another co car audi a5 2.0tdi se manual. Hoping for more space slightly better mpg n co2 as well as better handling n a more relaxing ride. Ill post pics as soon as i can. Comment welcome!! |

Nice spec Kalilb, I know it seems like a minor issue but did you see a car with the smokers pack deleted? I ticked this box but the salesman showed what it looked like and I thought it spoiled the interior.
Enjoy... |

Ashtrays are removed too, obviously, and you're left with a cubby-hole in its place but the ashtray with the lid looks much nicer.

Sorry didn't mean to make you nervous and as I said, its a minor thing and down to personal preference but it's not as the dealer has described.

Car arrived but ipod/iphone not connecting to the usb interface!
Hi all, car arrived today - also has brushed aluminium trim. No chance to take any photos yet - was dark n raining by the time i got home. Even though its the 143bhp 518 it doesnt feel a big difference to the 180bhp 520d. Got plenty in reserve and sufficient for my needs !
The msport suspension drives smoothly handles v well. Overall very pleased. However there is one major issue for me - neither my ipod nor iphone 4s will connect to the usb interface. They both charge but idrive screen simply says 'not connected'. Im using the original apple cable which i believe should all u need to connect both iphone and ipod. Ive just seen somewhere that resetting the ipod helps so will try in the morning. Anyone any ideas???? |

I could be wrong (as I'm still awaiting delivery of my F10) but I'm lead to believe you need a special BMW cable to get you 4s to appear.
Hopefully someone more knowledgable will be align to confirm either way for you. |

You don't need a special cable but you do need professional media if you want to stream music and control it in the iDrive. Business Nav won't do it.

Hmm, I have Pro media in my E60, and you DO need a special BM cable to make it work, unlikely this has changed with the F10, but happy to be corrected

Im told on the latest cars the usb audio interface is the gadget that allows the music on an ipod to be controlled thro idrive regardless of the satnav u have. Bmw website says u need the special cable for iphone and ipod Im speaking to my local dealer tomorrow to confirm n ask them to show me that cable works?

Business Nav and the iPhone....
Update on the iPhone USB cable topic.....
Just off the phone to my dealer. Was told as I have Business navigation, I WILL need a 'Y' cable in order to make the iPhone controllable from the iDrive, No problem fortunately as they have ordered one for free for me (as I was told it would work out of the box on the test drive) so it'll be in the car upon collection. Suggest you give you dealer a call Piers to make sure you get it sorted before collection |

Beancounter, I have mine from my E60, but from what xenon says, I am wrong anyway, so thanks both
Xenon, so a standard usb, as in the white one to connect to a computer, works to give that display in your piccie? cheers |
