I'm going to get the local garage to do it. It's my only car at the moment and I need it to get to work and back, and they are quite reasonable too. I just don't have the time unfortunately. I'll get them to do the bare minimum and then sell it.

Has it got a wind deflector? Was just looking at your thread on the Z4 forum. I really miss my Z4 and it's only been a week.
Hope you get what you want for it. I am so tempted to buy it myself, if only they made a 2+2 version
I was asking because I wanted to know out of curiosity. I didn't say anything about it affecting the price did I
It's an easy retrofit anyway and it makes a massive difference when you're doing 50+mph.Now worries, I can be a bit precious sometimes J1nxy bought an M235i and returned it for a 6 series. I think he had some problems with it (the details are in this thread somewhere). I think they will drop a bit more when the M2 is released.

Mentioned it to BMW and they looked at me like I was cray cray!
It beeps pretty much exactly like the BBC news chimes just without the final long chime - never heard it before, no warning messages associated with it.... is it actually my car? The only other thing is perhaps someone dropped something under the seat during a test drive however it's too loud and sounds to be from the speakers.
Anyone heard similar from their cars?
You sure it's not your phone giving you BBC push notifications
CIC retrofitting for CCC cars has become much cheaper recently. When I was looking in 2012 it was still around a grand for the equipment plus coding; seems you can get it all done now for under £500. I think that's one of the only downsides to earlier E9x M3's but now it's a lot more affordable.
Honestly not surprised you got your money back; you got a good deal to begin with. I know I said it already, but I really miss my Z4. I have to get another car with a dual clutch gearbox. How does the PDK compare to DCT?
Worst case scenario you can stream Deezer via Bluetooth. It's controllable through iDrive providing you set up playlists.
Am I imagining things, or was there a period where CCC iDrive had the CIC controller?
Perhaps I'm just getting old, but that looks like the old CCC nav layout..
It's an early '09 E60 LCI.
Not sure I like the brown nappa either, but that's another matter
It's easy to swap the controller around. All you need is the controller and the new dash insert to fit round it (probably more expensive than the controller itself).
What a joker. Firstly, the car is sold as seen, and secondly he could have checked them himself before collecting it. I'd tell him to do one, but if you feel that way inclined I'd give him £150 max. They aren't even to the wear indicators just yet.
If he goes into a BMW dealer they will tell him to get them replaced. They told me I needed to change mine ASAP when they had 4mm left.
What did you think of the E92 M3 manual vs 996 C4S? I've always wondered about going to a 996 C4S (used to have an E92 M3 manual). If I were to get another M3 I'd definitely get the DCT gearbox. I had it in my Z4 and it was hands down the best gearbox I've ever used.
I drove a 997 S with PDK (early version with the buttons on the steering wheel) and it wasn't a pleasant experience. I just have a yearning for a grey 996 C4S with the PSE. I'm going to be buying a new car soon as I love BMW's but the 996 is on the short list. Due to a house move though my budget has been slashed dramatically so £15k is my max limit I think.
