I’ve used it a few times. It’s fairly trouble free and rapid, except, after Brexit the passport checks take a bit of time. But that too has improved.

They’re not too bothered about the specific time slot you book. I’ve missed it a couple of times on the return (was there on time, but the Brexit ...

It’s rubbish this time, maybe the novelty factor is gone. Maybe they didn’t have enough access. Maybe cost cutting.

The ‘forced update’ happened to me too. With a Windows laptop I had kept for NCS Expert with my previous car. I also always used to refuse the updates but one day it caught me out.

Now it’s on Windows 10, sold the car so it’s not a bother for me.

I used to know Linux but long forgotten. All I know is Outlook and PowerPoint now on Mac.

It’s long since I played with this so how it works is not fresh in my mind.

I’ve accessed my archives and I see various pdfs there. Happy to share pls PM if interested.

Hi, I wouldn’t remember the diagnostics as its been a very long time. I will dig into my archives and see what .pdfs I have next weekend (travelling right now).

Thanks everyone.. yeah keeping them clean.. and keeping 20" wheels from potholes..

I upgraded the OS to make it CarPlay compliant, and use Waze avoiding all such issues.. car isn’t a BMW though

I’ve had the same Merc dealer giving me a scare about a fault in a similar ‘inspection’ which I decided to ignore, and the same dealer to NOT issue such warnings in later years. And the is still fine

The gloss black looks nice you’re sticking to the red colour theme i see . Personally I’d have gone for a beige or white interior (my 640i had ivory white and loved it). Car looks amazing

Wow 👍, love it!

Would like to talk to you about the experiment sometime. How long have u had it?

Not a fan of the BMW single panel display btw, although this is unfortunately where the world is going.. find it being priority for tech beyond driver ergonomics.

Btw I’m on hols and had a horrible ...

Well the front fogs aren’t about being seen though, the headlights do that well. Not that I’d have done the ‘black hole’ treatment. It is indeed a marmite case I guess

post some pics of the i4 pls
