We all drive the same make and model of a great car!
The best thing about the e60.net is that it is a very fine Global site.
If you want to stay local go to your local bar and get f**ked.

hi stu.
depending on what i drive you have (high/low)
with low..ie no nav or business nav you can select set/scan from the entertainment part of your menu, this will automaticly seek out the best available stations in your area or you can manualy pre load them.
if you have professional nav (high) you select all stations in your entertainment section and again it will seek out the best stations in your local area.
its always a good idea to read up in the owners manual. (bible) it normaly tells you most things, failing that use the search function on here (top right of the screen)
good luck.

Well, here's the first post that is NOT local...
OK, the answer is:
There is a setting in your i-menu, the settings menu, where you can delete everything and reset the system to factory/delivery status.
This would erase everything! All settings you have adjusted/stored...
The easiest way of doing it is, just store a new station at the position you want to have it. If you don't need all stations, just go to the very beginning of the scale and use the first frequency where there is no signal, and store it. The delivery status is nothing else than an empty frequency.
And guys, again, if you discuss things that are not UK specific... let's do it on the main forum, not here.
If you check the Hongkong or Singapore threads, it is mostly about their meets or the local dealers and other local stuff... mostly...
Please!
OK?

Hi Iceman, Hopefully when a few more people find out about the thread and everyone knows a bit more about one another the chat will become a bit more "local".
So guys, I picked up my E60 only a few weeks ago. It was an ex-demo for Bowker BMW in Lancashire.
Anyone had any dealings with them?
Anyone source thier E60's from Sytner in Leicester?
Also thanks Mark for hooking up the LCI's, looking forward to getting them collected and on the car

But don't forget, guys:
If you're discussing something general, like colors, wheels, any mods... this could be of interest for all members, worldwide, so it would be nice to post it "regularly" as a thread, not in here.
This should be a thread to discuss LOCAL stuff.
But then again, it's your thread.
Have fun!
