Hey all

Had the car back last night from some warranty work (high pressure system, creaking seals, crashing idrive) - here are some brief observations:

1: New "3D" view in sat nav - i like it!
2: i-drive seems faster to respond to inputs
3: The car seems to respond quicker to me planting my foot on the floor.
4: Creaky doors are now gone!

Thumbs up BMW! Man I love this car.

Do you have any after-market performance parts known to your dealer?

That's good to hear. At least there are some dealers that know what they're doing.

My dealer is BMW Cotswold Hereford - the guys there are absolutely brilliant, they bend over backwards to help at all times - 100% recommended
