My Ride: Nothing to boast about!
Just discovered that the video i/f fix has caused a minor glitch.
When the key is turned till audio is played, the idrive used to power up also; now it doesn't.
Or, with the engine off, pressing the vol. knob will turn on the audio but not the display. However, though I can't see the display, I can still change audio source or track or radio stations blindly.

if you tapped you power supply from accessory, the i/v will comes on and power up thus without the idrive screen(which need to be started) you can get volume. just double check the power supply.

i don't think it is a glitch, i think it is how your power is being tapped.

My Ride: 2005 523i (JetBlack)
Shit ... I noticed I also had a roof leak after the meet up at Kallang, the downpour today make me a sad man. I didn't expect that it also happen to my (what gshock88 had experience). But the leak on my car is only at the bottom of the shark fin antenna.
I need advice from you guys, I took delivery 3mths back so asking for replacement is definitely a no, but what can I demand from PML besides just rectifying the issue, what is our rights. I will be going to PML workshop on coming Tue (3rd Jan). What a bad way to celebrate a start of a New Year. I want to complaint but who to approach ... btw, this is my 1st BMW ... very disappointing. Sigh.
But at least I am glad to see the M6 today, it is an awesome car.

That's a nasty leak you have there. You'd better send it in first thing on 3rd Jan and get PML to rectify the matter. I think it's probably the seal at the shark fin that needs replacement. Also, speak with them about your roof lining because it may look not too bad now, but once dry may become stained.

What's the problem with BMW? These new cars are a disgrace to the good reputation of this marque 
I displayed my M today at Kallang today at the request of Ryan. Boy was I surprised at the reception it received. There were loads of cameras clicking away, questions fielded; you'd think PML was launching the car. To top it up, the car was dirty from this morning's downpour with another session of rain in between the shots but that didn't deter the anxious shutterbugs.
Lets hope we get some respite from the rain tomorrow and I promise to wash the car and get some shots posted.
