Just an update, car was sent for a carbon clean yesterday :thumbs: already noticed a 2l/100km drop in consumption. Will post the pics up as soon as I receive them.

Its booked in with BMW today for an erratic idle which improved somewhat after the clean but still there. Not sure if its HPFP or injector related :thumbdo:

:) let us know what BMW say!

Congrats! Looks lovely
I'm jealous of the Harmon Kardon
Its a really good system, needs a few tweaks to the equaliser for tight mid bass and clean highs as its quite boomy.

I try to use 320kbps mp3, Apple lossless ALAC or FLAC converted to ALAC for best possible sound. I've tried various material from Eagles Hotel California, Metallica's Nothing else matters and Beethoven, they all sound great :inlove:

After hearing it the first time it was at the top of my list :joy:

She's a real beauty!!same as mine :rollsmile: but with the added gps!!very nice!!

Tell me something, the iDrive knob is where my cup holders are, does this mean yours has no cup holders?!?:fencelook:

And what was the mileage on your little beast when you had the carbon clean done??

Try setting the fader to play a bit more sound in the rear and less in front!mine is set at -3 or -2 I think.it helps LOADS to get rid of the overwhelming bass!its still there(as it should be and still pumping) but not too much as before!!
Try it and see if it works for you

I think it's coz of the subwoofers under the front seats!our Harmon kardon plays too much bass through them!!

Thanks bud, I only have one lol, don't use it to be honest.

I had the clean done at 75k km. Still waiting for the pics :thumbdo:

Yeah it does help, currently set at -1 to the rear.
