I think there are two other peeps with great taste too with SF Reds on here, has anyone done a poll yet on forum G29 colours
I pick mine up this afternoon which is a huge leap of faith on my behalf as I've never actually seen one in that colour in real life

Nice one Sars.

Wireless charging is easily added, we did the same on my son's 140i which didn't have it.

I do like it in my M though, except I always leave my phone in it when walking away from the car. But a walk back looking at it again makes up for that :lol:

Welcome back - but you never really went away did you? :rofl:

The ordered car looks very nice and I have to admit it’s the colour scheme and spec I’ve been bothering the Configurator with recently - you’ve also negotiated a good discount.

Thanks, I have a few questions, I either use Spotify or Audible when I’m in the car through Apple CarPlay, does the phone have to be connected by a cable or can it connect and play via Bluetooth?

Thanks ronk, great time to sell a convertible at the moment, so what are you waiting for :poke: :D

I’m still tempted with frozen grey :headbang:

Welcome back. As AA has mentioned I’ve had the same options deleted as you. Wireless charging is easy to add. Plenty of options on Amazon.

The Apple CarPlay is wireless so your phone can stay in your pocket and you can stream Spotify Apple Music etc. You can use waze or Google maps.

Have you had your build slot confirmed?

Thanks for the information, appreciated. I usually use Google maps as the Mercedes map system was dated, however I did like the BMW navigation in the 435d and I will use that again.

I had confirmation today that the order is on the system and a build slot allocated to me, delivery for third week in September, confirmed by the retail manager. I am taking that with a pinch of salt, but I’ve paid the deposit so what mileage is there lying to me now, especially as he didn’t sell me the car
