Due 13th Dec <span style='font-size:14pt;line-height:100%'>PICKED UP 10 Dec </span>


All fantastic (voice control too), only Bluetooth is erratic with Sony Ericsson T68i (my old phone), I will investigate.

Afyer 30 years of manual gear it's strange not to have a clutch.

When I will stop from riding here and there I will post pictures next week.

Italian, computer dialect in pronounce.
For instance if you have tuned an RDS radio station stored in location 5 and appearing on i-drive as Radio.24, a synthetized computer voice says: Radio point 24 stored as station 5 all in italian.

In the past days I collected all voice command in English: useless.
Now I will discover all commands in italian

Let's see later in Jan 15th (meeting in Enfield UK) how awake those horses are, if we have time to test mine against 535d.

Mine also speaks italian (both nav and Voice control). I had to specify the language when I ordered the car. Seems it's not changeble by the dealer...I guess.
