Lady in red --EDIT : CUSTOM QUAD EXHAUST FITTED
Hey guys. My baby landed 2 weeks ago and blew my mind. In short this is the best and most loveable piece of machinery I have ever had. Will post tomorrow some more pics of the interior and some other details I would like to share.
Here are some remarks and recommendation I could make after living with zed (actually IN zed, love love love) and covering 1.500km. : --DCT : Just GET it. I grew up in automatic cars and gradually I got fed up. In the last 8 years I was a manual-gear-maniac, liked to get involved, commanding etc. and every auto I tried (from merc to porsc and maserati to saab) seemed to be kind of fake and more a playstation than a gearbox. I firstly ordered my zed with the manual one. Well it took me 3 days to get used to its philosophy and that was it. You won't miss a thing, this piece can do anything. --18s or 19s ? I have 18s and the M-suspension. I drive mostly in "normal" setting and actually it is already kind of stiff with little rebound depth. If you have issues with road quality where you move I would suggest that the 19s might not give you a brake. --Business CD/navi screen: The screen is superb, sound is ok, but just ok. The only settings you can do are bass treble fade and balance(!!!). Maybe you should consider an upgrade. I should have done. --Voice commands: I haven't found them very useful yet. Everything is really easily accessible by hard wire. Until later I would say it 's not a big deal. --Grey shaded windscreen: It is a 2cm banner on top and you can spot it only from the inside. Nice touch, but you will notice it mostly in your pocket. --Get the individual grey roof interior if you plan to have black or red leather interior. I didn't. The standard beige will match only with beige leather or pure white. --Sport seats are superb. Get the lordose adjustements only if you really need such adjustements. Any suggestions? --There is a brief chain-like-something sound at cold start only, any insights? --The PDC turns on only if R is selected. How can I adjust it to turn automaticaly on when both ends approach any obstacles? Good luck to everybody!! E89 is a future classic. Last edited by jannisa; 06-01-2010 at 02:52 PM.. |

Congrats on your car - looks superb, and the blue exterior and red interior certainly looks quite interesting!
You can turn on PDC by pressing the button down beside the roof/heated seats buttons.

Nice 'Arty' shots....lovely looking motor, the red and blue go really well together.
Why have BMW put light coloured roofs with dark interiors!!! Madness....they should match to roof lining with the interior chosen !!! |
