Re: Z4

Manufacturers seem to now avoid flash Concept Cars, and see it as a way of soft-launching new models. Looking at recent history I suspect the real car won't be a million miles from this -some areas refined and less showy, like bumpers/spoilers, but in principle the same design.

Re: Cleaning & Protecting Side-blades

I have tried a few methods to clean (lambswool wash mitt, microfibre, sponges, soft detailing brush, harder detailing brush with Valet pro citrus pre-wash and Zaino Z7 shampoo), and none a...

That decision meant we wasted 40 minutes whilst we drove ...

GTS Gears

A couple of times I've been in Sports mode using the paddles and in first it changes gear almost immediately as I flick the paddle, but in second it doesn't immediately and then revs uncomfortably high (for a diesel) before changing.

21 inch wheels

21's and PASM here. After my last few cars all being hot hatches with big wheels and low profiles in comparison this feels super smooth, yet still compliant. I'm selective with when to use the PASM button, and think that's what makes this so usable. For example have it on the softest/standard settin...

Hud Option ordered

If you read the review for the previous version it says it's not available in the UK yet, so suspect the current version is the same.

Connect + Traffic reporting

Thanks but followed that and whilst it list all the traffic 'incidents', it doesn't seem to give an option to enable them to be displayed on the actual map.
