Well, seeing as a lot of new members are signing up at the moment....(but not posting!) I have been asked to create an introductions forum where new members can create a new thread to say hi and talk about their cars and projects :cool:

See you there hopefully

yeah I think the reversing camera is a must. Hoping to find somewhere around Glasgow I can drop the car off at and come back a couple of hours later and everythings done. Looking at going for a non intrusive replacement for the existing screen. Integrated Automotive do the gear that I want (I think) but Im unsure about fitting it myself and dont really know a garage Im confident of fitting it correctly.

Just saying Hi. I take delivery of my E46 330i Auto 4 door next week. I've joined up to see what new tyres I should go for. I'm having Oil and Auto box serviced before delivery. First jobs for me are tyres and new spark plugs (about the only DIY job I trust myself with to begin with). I bought the car for road trips with my grandson. Proper car with a beautiful sounding engine. I feel 25 again.

Thanks Pete. It's not perfect but it's pretty damn good. Few rust bubbles I can sort on arches. Interior is 9/10. Bought from a lovely young man who's set up specialising in E46's. I'm kinda hoping to have a few conversations in car parks/petrol stations and other places when people wander by and say.... That's a nice one. Thanks for the welcome Pete.

I believe that you can add Carplay via the BMW connected drive store. I wouldn't know if its available for your specific model, the store seems to cover only specific software versions on headunits. You might have to ask main dealer to help. Personnaly I replaced the headunit in mine day one with a droid unit, mainly because I wanted the 10" screen.

You may be able to add it yourself with itsa if your comfortable with coding.

M2 comp and CS are the high performance models running the S55 engine, twin turbo charged, and uprated suspension and braking. But unless you are planning on tracking it, the N55 engine in the standard M2 (if you can call an M standard :p) is more than enough for road use.

Hi Everyone, new to the forum….let me know if I’m posting in the wrong place!
Just had my first BMW delivered. It’s a 128ti registered yesterday. In black- pic below.
Love the car but having an issue in that carplay and Wi-Fi are missing from the IDrive menu, so I can only connect my phone on Bluetooth. Has anyone else had this issue with a recent delivery?
BMW connected drive customer services said that it would probably be fixed with an over the air update at the end of March but it sounded a bit like I was being fobbed off ‘call back if it still doesn’t work in April’.

Thanks in advance

You can say that again , this is a main dealer as well not just a garage. When I questioned the bloke yesterday why is it taking so long for the to prepare the car and get it transferred 40 to my local dealer hhe said the wheel was buckled and they were getting it straightened !!! As you can gather alarm bells started ringing
