Welcome :D

Similar radio setups between veccy and omega. Omegas have speed sensitive volumes, so should be possible.

Have a word with one of our members 'Taxi Driver' as he is, obviously, a taxi driver.  And a damn nice bloke as well :)

I guess you are going to get a 2000 or earlier 2.5Td then (2.2 TD didn't have an auto option). When considering it remember that this BMW engine needs an oil change every 6K miles....
