Hi everyone
Just bought a 55 plate 2.0 se and been reading the posts on the forum
Going to have a go at the aux cable for i pod

Also read the posts on the cruise control fitting on the 3.0 models
Does anyone know if this can be done on my car?

Heres a link to the parts required;

As Taz says a quick search you show you 'how to' etc. Cost of bits about £70 but it pays to shop around. Contact Joe at Sopers BMW Lincoln, who is doing good deals for Forum members on parts.
Edit: And if you do need the additional wiring the part number is: 61 12 0 394 848

you would need the addition loom if you car was built after Oct 2004 - build date can be found on the wheel arch under the bonnet (nearside IIRC)
and welcome to the forum

Stubby aerial vs the standard 'whip' aerial.
Cruise control fitted
Sound generator foam removed - nice roar inside the cabin now
Clear side repeaters - the orange side indicator repeaters have been swapped for clear ones
CDV - a nasty clutch delay valve has been removed
ZHP - weighted gear knob for better hear shifts
