Just got my G29

Post by Zed Baron » Mon Mar 25, 2024 11:00 am

Hi, thats me I've finally made the move to the G29 from the E89! Slowly learning all the features that the car has to offer, spent part of the day sorting the technology to my configuration. After 9 years, my good old E89 goes to a new home today, it's been a great car.

Looking forward to having a squint around your new toy.

It's a shame that the weather is stinking today. Yesterday was at least decent. I managed to get 2 cars washed in between doing my call out.

    Nice, think you’ll enjoy the G29 more than the E89. My experience so far at least :thumbsup:

    Looks fab, congratulations! What model and packs?

    Sapphire black, same as mine. Looks great when just cleaned, but shows up the dirt after a rain shower.

    Thanks folks, not been far in yet (curse of being self employed and other priorities!). Yes, I will be at the Boness show, (2 black G29's) we will opposite ends of the lineup to create some balance :rofl: Its amazing at night when the cabin lights up : 8) The only thing I haven't worked out yet is how to upload music to the hard drive and keep the playlists? (my E89 didn't have a problem doing this).
