Just wanted to share the joy. Mine is in delivery in about two weeks (code 190, loaded to train on 16/02/2005). Having read this forum extensively after ordering I'm not yet scared off .

I'm anxiously waiting to see the quality. Having owned two E39s before (MY1997 and MY2002) I have to say that I found the MY1997 quality better. Small things but anyway...

Welcome NC91!

Be prepared for one fantastic car and beware of Brussels traffic with you new toy!
Maybe you could feature a video while driving through the tunnels!
The sound should be fantastic.

The video may be doable. Let's see when we I get that far.

The auxiliary heating (also called as webasto) is a fuel burning heater that heats up the water in the engine and uses then the cars own inside heater for the cabin to warm up. You can start the heater remotely or using the car's timers. As I am a fanatic skier and like to go to cold places (my origin is Finnish) I find it very pleasant to enter into pre-warmed car and no need to rub out the ice from the windows either.

By the way NC91 can you explain me how to show the profile of your car below your threads. When I fill in the "my ride description" in my profile, it doesn't appear.


Thanks

Is that a factory fit option? I understand that with advanced aircon you can set the time at which the heating comes on, but you can't switch it on remotely (shame). I haven't seen this option in the UK?
