RE: re

RE: M5....
Wish that was possible Paul - stereo controls on the steering wheel are a really sensible safety and convenience feature for any car IMO.Julian - impending post 'Fitting multifunction steering wheel to S4'?....

Re: RE: M5....
I find VAG cruise control most awkward to use. I see nothing intuitive about it nor easy to use. At least I can leave mine on all the time without a light in the speedo lighting up like on our Golf, so you have to move the switch before you can set the speed with the end button.MarkB wrote:

RE: Re: RE: M5....
Congrats on the new car Simon. I think the handling is the best bit about the beemers and the noise
Get an Eisenmann box on there ASAP mate
I wouldnt bother with the remap IMHO.....there are nice kompressor kits though
