Don't know about all these secret menus but my consumption was showing something like 17.3L/Km which is hell. Full tank range was showing something like 490 Km. My 735LI was doing 16L/100Km.

I feel that something is really not right. Maybe Russo is right; the V8 definitely needs a big push to clear out the carbon. Might try it in the coming week. Will probably go solo to as far as 100Km from 2nd link.

If nothing else helps, then might strip the engine, cut up a hole in the floorboard and drvie like Fred Flintstone.

Wah Zag. thats bad. Mine is approx 5.7Km/L. I think something's terribly wrong there. Can't just be your driving habit alone.

Russo, ask you about the Honda Jazz. Do you know which budget installer is familiar with the Jazz?

Jazz is pretty straight forward and simple layout. There is this shop opposite Zouk/Grand Copthrone Waterfront (Can't remember the name of the shop) not bad. Their workmanship and prices are pretty good.

My Jazz has front tweeters (rainbow), 4 speakers (JBL) and a sub (Pioneer) in the rear. Simple and economical.

You just got a new Jazz?

iTrip works by transmitting in radio frequency to your HU, the iTrip unit and your iPod will be in your car, thus vkool will have zero effect on it.

I personally feel that Dension's ICELink plus is probably the best features/cost option. Take a look, though it is not available for iDrived car, but eventually they will figure out how to do it.

before i install my ICE, i have been using belkin, itrip and finally monster cable ( which was the best IMO). now, i realised how much i have been missing with direct connection to my amp.
the E60 is really acoustically good for a good system.

but if you would like to try, take the monster cable, which cahrges as well as radio transmitting to yr ipod.

until the dension is ready, maybe by then BMW has come out with an integrated ipod or an mp3 player on baord......good luck!

Just asking for a friend. I suggested Pin Liang as well. Anyway good job yesterday, my car had never looked so good, even with the Concours. There must be something that I didn't do when I DIY BTW do you have any empty container to spare?
