I'd vote for the XF solely based on my own taste and the rarity of the vehicle in my neck of the woods

They are nice, that car reminds me of something from a Sci fi movie. I just drove the E60 around the block and no problems at all. I just don't trust it now, probably still gonna take it in.

Its been awhile, how is everything going with the ride? I'm up and running but still have the SES light on, I took it to a dealer and they wouldn't work on it when they ran the key it came up with a different VIN. I guess I need to go coding/program some modules. Can't get the software to work though.

It has been a while The ride is working just fine with no new big surprises. I've covered up the E46 and enjoying the E60. I haven't made any progress on my outstanding list.

I had a crack in the windshield when I got it and it was very low on my list of priorities, but after a while I could no longer let it go. So last Thursday actually I got the windshield replaced and that went well.


How far are you getting on the coding? I'm also at a point where I've tried to get the coding working, but haven't made much progress.

That's good, glad you feel confident enough to park the E46. I'm actually enjoying the ride even though I have no music. Apart from that SES the car is moving about like a beast. The coding thing sucks, lots of little things here and there that need to get done. I mostly just want to get the VIN changed over on everything. I can't get INPA to work. I tried a bunch of different software downloads but nothing so far. I got INPA up but when I connect it to the car nothing happens. I think the cable is fine because on one of the other installs I couldn't connect but on this install I didn't get any connection issues. Also when I go to NCS expert I get a faulty VIN or something like that. I updated the daten files but still nothing. I am running Vista so gonna chill until I can get a XP machine.

Rightnow I ordered BMW scanner I guess some coding can be done with that, I get it tomorrow so I will see how it goes.
