This makes parallel parking without scuffing your rims an easy deal. I really miss this feature on the Z. Thought it was standard on all BMWs, guess not! Sometimes I park way out from the curb, other times I open the passenger door to see the distance, not willing to risk it.
Now that is one cool and very good idea! :thumbsup:

Wonder if there will be a "sound generator" on this one?

The twin turbo will need one as the turbines will muffle the exhaust note somewhat, mmm and a free flowing open air intake to hear the turbines chuffing and chuntering :driving:

I have just finished sorting the 'ultimate' set (well IMHO not bad looking) of 108's and need to get them photographed. Will never suffer lacquer peel again :) Shop was so impressed with the custom work he did and how it's turned that he's purchased a scrap 108 to restore, replicate and keep in the shop alongside his other show wheels.

- heated steering wheel
- washer fluid reservoir that has a low-warning (as others have said) and which is also larger than 4L so that it can take an entire jug without needing to be bone dry first.
- rather than a sport button, a dial that allows you to incrementally adjust the throttle/steering input.
- if not full ipod integration, at least a simple stereo-jack to accept any AUX input.
- better standard sport seats
- a better armrest solution
- better radio reception
- an easily/cheaply replacable front bumper lip

that's it for now!
