I told you to drive a Hummer instead. :rofl:

And put a red rag around the windscreen blades to remind you the car is on a tender. Ask me why.

Real speed instead of BMW speed? Yes.

Here we go. The first photo is the passenger seat. It perhaps used 10% of the time. If you look closely, you see the see light scuff marks near the buckle. The second is the driver seat with my very practical yet awful looking solution. Ugh. The scuffs are from shoulder level to love handle...

Yes. That’s right. Sorry, all. I’ve been busy with a massive project. The leather is lightly marked. Not too bad. I’m sure the marks can be lightly filled with leather putty, and waxed black again. I’ll take photos this week.

I’ll take a picture. It’s on M-Sports seats. I believe there was thread about these scuffs and marks not long ago. It’s from the buckle rubbing the side leather at about shoulder level after it’s released.

Hello? Anybody?

When wifey is in the car, the value goes up by $10m. When I’m in the car, it goes down by $20m. Easy.

I forget nuthin’ :rofl: Same argument. What kind of sport car enthusiast drives a N54 with DCT, pushes the onion button, but settles with an automatic gearbox? It’s poor engineering, and equally bad at understanding the market. I can appreciate a separate button to fix the gearbox to manual to...

Same here. 👍👍

The ole noggin reckons there was a similar thread not long ago. But ole noggins… Is there a good solution or fix for the scuffs already made? I’ve tried a layer of jewellery box velvet liner. Hmm. As butt jobs go, blimey, it’s awful. I’m all ears.

Funny, I don’t remember ever pressing that button. My two maps are either stock or Sport+. What am I missing?

Irrespective of driver vintage, it’s bloody daft. Whether you putz or push, only three maps are really needed: supermarket, adverse weather/surface, spirited. Everything else is poor engineering. (Never assign an engineer to do a mathematician’s job. :poke: )

Yes, it’s DCT. It upshifts at the redline.

I don’t own a 3.0i. I’m speaking without knowledge. On the 35is, the gearbox does upshift when it redlines, even in Sport+ and manual.
