Fox, I might be being silly, I don't come in here that often anymore, but I swear I saw you posted that you had a new car in the "Show us your motors" thread, think it was 335i? Or was that a joke?

No no, he does have a 335i (or did?) but it wasn't really "for him". I think he needs an F10 5-series in his life.

Where did the fancy center dash display come from? Plus I notice you have another pod next to your rev counter - what is it?

Could never get used to the Mini because my ocd had an issue with the single pod on the steering column, but I like your setup.

I'm pretty sure that middle one has the Chrono pack option, essentially they remove the speedo from the middle and put a load of other dials in there. The second pod on top of the steering coloum is the speedo.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong though.
