E89 Market watch

Do you find the volume control on these cars takes a really annoying amount of turns to get from low to high???

Or just me

What I find annoying is that there is no indication on the display of the volume level, makes for setting the gains on my aftermarket amps a bit tricky!

I find that annoying too, I'd have thought with your fancy idrive you'd have had something on display

The annoying thing for me is the way the volume returns to a set level after switching off the engine and doesnt stay where you left it.

I thought it was just me, cause I was streaming all the music in and I thought the delay was caused by the phone

I just use the loud pedal. The only music to my ears.

Sadly nope!

For me that's a good thing since usually I would have the radio on too loud on the previous drive

To use a phrase in vogue here ‘fairly salty’.

Over £16k for a 30 version albeit a nice yellow

I like the seats and the dash in that

That’s not even an m-sport, they’re going to struggle at that price.

Is that not the standard interior trim for the yellow versions?

Not sure. Not seen many with an alcantara dash and thought the Alcantara centre in the seats was for the VO models but they have an orange stripe too I think

Judging by the three that are on auto trader now a 20, 30 and 35 they all come with the same seats with an almost hidden yellow stitches up the middle and the furry dashboard trim..

It was an option available called Pure Impulse design package, page 8 below. Maybe like most VO’s the option box was ticked

Thanks Andy, so if I read it correctly you could only get yellow with the pure impulse package..but...you could get the pure impulse package with other colours?

And...it was a special order for non 35 versions...for that year at least

No problem Ed, yes that’s my understanding of it too. It seems for some colours that there were no cost options of these packages like this one and the one for my VO. But other models/colours could spec them as a paid optional extra

Just for info I’ve definitely seen yellow ones with completely black leather seats for sale, not often but I have. Just like there’s quite a few VO’s of various models kicking around with completely black seats/dash/door cards

Seems like a good deal dependent on the roof issue - love the Havana Brown

 

[ronk]

72,000km ???
Is it a typo.

I love Havana too, what’s it saying the roof issue is?

 

[ronk]

The Km would bother me!
Who quotes distance in the U.K. in km?

 

[Argyll Andy]

The Km would bother me!

I don’t use Facebook at all Ron and am assuming, possibly incorrectly , but I’m assuming it’s a drop down box and KM was selected rather than miles. MOT history shows last MOT @ 68,900 MILES
