i used to, in the Z4MC back in 2008, along with the required BMW phone cradle for a Sony Ericsson K800, then iPhone 3.

Had to swap to a 12v adapter once the iPhones became too big to fit in the centre console.

I use of he bottom. Stop open boot using button then get out and go to boot. Key can stay in the ignition, unless for some odd reason I have the roof up.

But they need that so that they can return to the fast lane once they've moved over to let an ///M go by

You just reminded me of the Vauxhall Omega V6. Now that was a car that steered via the rear Axel.

That in conjunction with radar cruise and emergency braking makes it virtually impossible to overtake anything on a motorway.

The 2.8i Capri was ' interesting ' in the wet

Spent more time looking at where I had come from rather than where I was going
