I was talking about the colour you originally ordered.

Bender purple you mean?

No, bellend purple.

It does have heated but not cooled seats...I think. ......F*uck £15 a month.

If it's like my 10 year old 5 Series, you need to have the Comfort Seats with the cooling option...... Fortunately someone else forked out for it on my car when it was built and its too old for the current subscription bull.

The article is a bit misleading to be fair, How many manufacturers do you know who will upgrade your Sat Nav Maps for free after 12 months / 3 years or whatever warranty you have these days?

Oh, and tell them that they can stick their auto full beam up their arse as it dips the lights when they reflect off of a road sign, with no other car within miles. Although adaptive headlights are good because they move the beam pattern. 

Have adaptive and high beam assist on mine (but it's an older car with a previous generation High Beam Assist). To be honest I never use it, it dips too late for my liking which obviously pisses off any normal oncoming driver. The best adaptive headlights i've used are on our V70.

.....
When you eventually get it, if bmw are tight enough to piss people off, turn off the wi-fi and re-code the chargeable items to activate. An Indie has access to the same software that bmw use, so service history can be maintained.

Yep, Bimmercode app and a bluetooth OBDII will do that with the minimum of fuss, easy to re-apply after car has been in for a service and BMW decide to deactivate anything. If you want to get into BMW coding then an Enet cable and ISTA is the way to go with a cheap used laptop.

Ultimately, whatever the manufacturers configure on their cars, the aftermarket coders will soon catch up and from what i've seen, the vast majority of modern vehicles have next to no security on most of their modules.

I did a few mods with Carly and my mobile.    Some of the mods had already been turned into shortcuts so you just had to tick a box to activate but others required adapting the ‘Long Coding’ to activate. I quite enjoyed the long coding but if I was tampering with that I’d always make a note or take a photo of the original code just in case something went wrong. I think long coding was required to activate adaptive brake lights, where the brake lights flicker on and off in quick succession when you are braking hard from speed, to let the car behind know that you’re hard on the anchors. Trouble is, a lot of people aren’t aware of adaptive brake lights, and aren’t aware of what they signify.

Some cars in the seventies had adaptive brake lights. Or a loose wire, or something

I thought adaptive brake lights were standard on ESP equipped cars

I coded the tail lights to be on with the front DRL's (ECE code) as it's always seemed a stupid idea not to have them on to me, coded the headunit / iDrive to turn off after the ignition was turned off and the drivers door was opened (why would you want it to stay on until you lock the car???) and also set the indicators appear in the HUD.

They may well be now. 

[Doctor Gollum]

The Alabama Mumsybus certainly has them, and I have a feeling that The Barge had them too. Works better in principle with LEDs so that may be the deciding factor
