Newbie - Pickup Saturday can't wait!

[Jim S]

One thing that didn't come with my car is a manual... I've found one online which I'm pouring over.

IRD do you know the name of the red for our cars? Or is it just "Red" ? I've got some stonechips I might want to touch up and it'd be good to know what the colour is called to get the right one.

I had a similar "issue" with a boxster I had (no audio streaming via Bluetooth) but I solved that by fitting a better stereo.
It is a little bit crazy that a 2013 car isn't able to do it. I'd hoped i could upgrade the firmware of the radio but that seems to be a no go too.

I might have to resolve this in a similar way to before with a replacement stereo... Any suggestions anyone? For now a largish USB stick will / USB hard drive will suffice I guess.

I think the colour is called Melbourne Red.

I'm not sure about E89s, but my E86 has a plate under the bonnet with the VIN that includes the paint colour.

Otherwise go to a site like bmwvin and put in the last 7 characters of your VIN and you'll get the full OEM spec. of your car.
