Loving it so far! Leaps and bounds ahead of my old E60 LCI.

Congrats and thanks for posting. Seeing that gmpolice tweet made me think of something iphone developers should incorporate - Trapster!! (don't know if you guys have that in the UK).

Tim

Never heard of it... what is it?

tim-atl · 03-26-2011, 06:54 AM

It's an app that warns you when you are approaching speed traps, red light cameras and the like. It's saved me multiple times on the interstate but I still seem to get tickets on the normal roads.

Nice pics, thanks ... good luck with your new ride.

andyk500 · 03-26-2011, 08:59 AM

Nice pics, enjoy your car.... 6NR seems a great feature well worth ordering....

Did you only post them to show off that you're friends with Lewis Hamilton on facebook. Anyway after todays qualifying he should be working out how to catch Vetel not posting on facebook?????

northernmonkey · 03-26-2011, 10:12 AM

Cmon titanflux that's a sad reflection of today's world when get a bunch of pics of blooming twitter and facebook. Get you exterior pics up on here you bought a great car not an ipad...

....ps nice car the 6NR stuff works well then

335dxd · 03-26-2011, 10:20 AM

...yes c'mon Titan we need ext pics!......great cars though aren't they. Sure you are enjoying it ....I certainly am.

Quick question though....the stop/start buttons...they are different?...is that just an msport vs SE thing?

Hi Jon - they are different - I understand it is where the override or auto stop/start is on the manual cars, and where it will be when this feature comes out on auto boxes.

I guess the hexagon trim in the M Sport currently doesn't have the right shaped hole for that?! Every F10 auto I've been in has the little thing under the button.

andyk500 · 03-26-2011, 02:45 PM

Love the piano black interior trim, I wanted to order that for my M sport but told no. so settled for the brushed aluminium, but still prefer the black.

One question please...you have sports auto, sports seats, sport steering wheel, shadow line interior etc, please can you enlighten me on why SE not M sport model?

It's black high gloss trim, i.e. the SE standard trim. I think you can now order the individual piano black on an M Sport but only recently. The black trim was one of the reasons I went for an SE.

it was going to cost too much in all for an M Sport with the price being £3,300 more and the lease rates comparatively more expensive pound for pound. I couldn't have got the spac I wanted for the same cost with an M Sport just for the sake of the bodykit, which I will end up scraping the front of all the time. I would have deleted the sport suspension anyway.

Thanks for sharing, it's a great car.
How does the twitter feed work? Pull or push? Is it available when the car is in motion as well?
Thanks.

Thanks.

Appears to be push, so long as the BMW Connected app is running (in standby mode is fine). Works when moving, as well as stationary.

Each to their own - it does let you read and post while driving, not that I'll make a habit of it - but better than checking on my iPhone when waiting in a jam or at traffic lights.
