As I climbed into the drivers seat of my Z4 I was reminded of the technical marvel of BMW engineering with:
Brake Energy Regeneration (iGR),Electric Power Steering (EPS) with Servotronic,EU5 emissions management,Oil sensor for level and grade, Optimum Shift Indicator (SPA) - manual transmission only, Six-cylinder in-line petrol engine with Double VANOS, Six-speed manual transmission, 19" light alloy wheels,Brake discs - front and rear, ventilated, Double-joint spring-strut front axle, Dynamic Control, Electro-mechanical parking brake, Airbags - Driver, front passenger, front and side, Alarm system (Thatcham 1) with remote control and engine immobiliser, Brake Assist function, Brake Force Display, Brake lights and indicators with LED technology, Crash sensor activating central locking release, hazard warning lights, fuel cut-off and interior lighting, Deformation zones - front and rear with door reinforcements and bumpers that regenerate to their original shape in impacts up to 2.5 mph, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) comprising: Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Automatic Stability Control (ASC), Cornering Brake Control (CBC), Dynamic Brake Control (DBC), Dynamic Traction Control (DTC), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), First Aid kit and warning triangle, Fog lights rear, Follow-me-home headlight function Headlight wash, Hill-start Assistant, Impact-dependent airbag system, Locking wheel bolts (Thatcham approved), Passenger airbag deactivation, Roll-over protection system, Run-flat tyres with Tyre Puncture Warning System (TPWS), Safety battery cable, Seat belts - inertia reel with Pyrotechnical belt latch tensioner, belt force limiter and belt restrainer, Side impact protection, Xenon headlights with welcome light and daytime driving lights, Child seat ISOFIX attachment, All round anti-corrosion system with partial hot galvanising, phosphate treatment and cathodic dip paintwork, preservation of hollow cavities, underfloor protection, Bootlid operation, soft-close, Exhaust tail pipes - dual, round, left, Exterior mirrors in body colour heated,Front apron air inlets in black,Kidney grille, chrome with black vertical slats, Retractable Hard-Top (RHT), 2-piece with remote opening control in key, Air conditioning, automatic with two-zone control, Air microfilter,Ambient interior lighting, Armrest - centre, Battery in luggage compartment with jump start facility in engine bay, Door sill finishers with BMW designation, Electric windows - front and rear, with open/close fingertip contol, anti-trap facility and comfort opening function all round via key, Floor mats velour, Gear lever gaiter in leather, Interior trim in Satin Silver matt, Reading lights, Smoker's package, Sport multi-function leather steering wheel, Start/Stop button with chrome detail, Steering column with manual reach and rake adjustment, Storage compartments in instrument panel and centre console, Windscreen - rear, heated, Auxiliary input point for auxiliary playing devices, BMW Professional radio with single CD player (with MP3 playback capability) and dual tuner, DVD changer preparation, On-Board Computer (OBC) comprising: average speed, fuel consumption (average and current) and range, information display - analogue instruments combined with liquid crystal display, journey computer,outside temperature display and personal profile function.......
and thought SH..T is anything goes wrong with all this lot I'm knackered....!
AND which vehicle spec is this (with just one option change)
