Early GO5 or later GO5.??
The pre-LCI G05 has a traditional dashboard and iDrive 7, while the facelifted version gets iDrive 8 with a curved display. If you prefer physical controls, you might like the earlier model more.

MODERATOR - Are you actually going to add anything about BMWs and owning such, or is this just going to be about F1? So far every post has been about F1 and adds little to this Forum. I don’t want to stifle special interests, but …

Are we going to see Checo race for Red Bull for the final time this Sunday in Abu Dhabi? I personally think that Red Bull should replace him with Yuki who deserves a chance for at least a season to race for the Red Bull.

Wheel rim protection
