Agree. It look so nice on a 7er always....nice to have.
the more i drive the 3 litre engine, the more i like it.

hmmm...what if it is on a 6er.....
It'd be just as bad as it is on an E60 and that is the reason I got the Comfort Access even if its only a 2 door car (so that I don't have to fumble over the fob and start button). The CA option cost me approx SGD 4300.00 +/-. You'll get to see in in my ride next month.

i doubt i can make it this time.

mother in law commitments....

Yes, it is known that next year ipod interface will be inlcuded. but you need to create BMW playlist 1, BMW playlist 2 etc in your ipod....you cannot actually control all selections from the steering switch alone. Because it cannot recognise other named playlists.
From the idrive knob, you can select your playlist and then your songs. If i am not wrong, the CD changer will not be there for this feature. (so what? who needs a changer if you have 60GB of songs in your ipod??)

If you have not done anything maybe can consider this:

1) install a video interface.
2) use a docking station for ipod ( the one with video out)
3) aux input

this way, you can see on your idrive screen, the display showing on the ipod. And u can control volume with your steering control.

Afterwhich, wait for the after-market adapter that allow interface Ipod to the steering controls including up and down selection. Like the adaptor used in the 3 series now.
LMK,

Damn unfortunate you cant make it to the meet. Would definitely be interested to tap your brains on iDrive interfaces for entertainment (i.e. iPOD, TV, etc.). Can you please advice where I can get the interfaces done?

Cheers,

Guess what I saw at PSA today?

The New Merc S 350
E60 for Singaporeans-23112005009.jpg
The New Merc B200
E60 for Singaporeans-23112005011.jpg
The New/facelifted WRX with headlamps looking like the E60's minus the eyebrows

IMO, the E65 is in trouble, going by external looks itself. The new Merc looks really nice in flesh

ya, the interior looks like E65. especially the idrive. I ownder what those sales people will say baout it. i remember when i bought my S class, the sales guy criticised the idrive, "only idiots will use idrive" now....hehehe!
being an ex - S class owner, i am not impress....especially the thought of sending the car back to C&C for service. If you say PML CSR is bad and sometimes "nuts" wait till you face those furstrated CSR in C&C!

A disappointed S and C class EX owner! always and forever!

No, these were 007 shots taken by me. As you know, photography is not allowed at PSA and there are so many cc cameras mounted everywhere there. Didn't want to make it too obvious.
