What is that screen on the stereo for?
A very very early OEM sat-nav system which had simple arrows on the screen together with voice instructions.

I was going to be hyper critical but I guess that back in 2001 it was advanced. Plus mine doesn't have it so I'm in no position to criticise. I see it had bluetooth too. Was it quite highly specced?

It was never advanced - it was offered as a cheaper alternative to the full widescreen colour navigation system also offered alongside it. Since about 2001 BMW have always tended to offer a 'Business' and a 'Professional' Navigation option, with Pro being the proper system and Business being the cheaper alternative. In early E60's Business was again just arrows, it later evolved to a smaller 2d map, now it's similar to professional but with a smaller screen and no hard drive.
Don't think it has Bluetooth, certainly not on a 2001 car.
Well every day's a school day. And perhaps if I used my eyes I'd have seen that it has a lack of 'extras' buttons too. Anyway...[TW]Fox;21720776 said:

Matt, It's been a while!
And here is one you took of my car on that trip:
Bloody hell, small world eh? Was a good trip that was wasn't it. Do you still have many of the pics of that weekend, I have a few video clips but lost all my pictures due to hard drive crash few years ago

Probably the best place to ask so, does anyone know what is a reasonable cost for a brake fluid service on my 335i? I got quotes of £104 from both of the main dealers near to me. BMW warranty means I need to get it serviced at a main dealer but wanted to check what other people have paid recently (main dealer only as I know independents will be significantly cheaper).
Thats not a bad price but I think you could get cheaper if you shopped around. Depends if you're bothered on saving £20. If your car is older than 4 years make sure you ask for the 4 Plus discount, which is 10% off parts and labour. That should bring it down below £100.
I paid £94 for mine from Cooper Reading before the 4 Plus discount.

Mine...Z4M Coupe
Do I keep seeing this around Camberley?
There is a discount for older cars, I am taking the Z4 in next week and its the same price (even though its an easier job on a Z4)
