BMW and M Power Owners

I'd be interested in how you get on with this.

Was a fairly painless process.

not sure if this has been asked before but has anyone had any experience with retrofitting Android Auto in their BMW? I'm looking at getting an 18 plate X3 shortly and was wondering if these MMI type devices a) actually work b) are any good and c) as plus and play as they say they are?

I have an Android screen in my car. The sound isn't the best as it's through the Aux. I tend to listen to Audible on long journeys so no big deal. Also saves me having to pay for the online services if I want to use Deezer etc.
 
Totally agree. Filling the A6s tank with 70+ litres of diesel is painful at the moment.
Maybe this is why BMW always fits tiny tanks to its cars

The Audi A6 has a fuel tank capacity of 70 litres. The BMW 5 Series has a fuel tank capacity of 70 litres.

:confused:
 
Looking at purchasing my first BMW and i have roughly 18k to spend, i have been looking at the 4 series but anything under 20k is 5+ years old with 90k+ miles on the clock in basic spec. Is this just the current state of the used car market or is there something about the 4 series that keeps their value up?
 
to be fair I wouldn't be using it for playing music from my phone but mostly for running Waze
I thought there were some MMI issues on having AA/CP displays accurately mapped to the host cars display screen resolution, such that you could have a 'fuzzy'/indistinct rendition of text and graphics - can't see a link now - maybe someone else has seen that. ?

Most cars have risen in price but premium cars have seemed to have higher rises. You should still be able to get something decent for £20k though.

It is mostly the state of the market. To maximise your value look at the 3 Series - it is exactly the same car as the 4 Series but is the 4 door saloon version. The specification can vary inside, mind. But really now is about the worst time to buy a used BMW as there has ever been. You really get very little for your money.

Anyone any idea what the box with wires coming out of in this pic? In the boot of an 07 525d, messaged the seller but not heard anything back yet, spec seems similar to a few others but none of them have the box in pics of the boot. :confused:
 
Its 99.9r% an amplifier...not standard.

Was thinking it had something to do with an audio system, just looks a bit ropey in the image. Of course the description doesn't mention it at all, only says "BMW professional audio" for sound and thats it.
