    MP3 support in COMAND

    Hi there! My local dealer just tried to install that Software Upgrade but they said there were no changes that registered. I then loaded a CD-R with MP3 music files but got a DVD ERROR message. The service tech are now checking with Germany about what went wrong. It just occurred to me that...

    OT: If SAP made toasters

    We were considering SAP for our company but it was just too expensive (over $2 mil). Anyway, during our research on SAP I was told that SAP = Suffering And Pain :D

    E320 v 530; pic comparison

    A friend came by with his BMW 530 so I took the opportunity to take some side by side shots of his car and mine. These were taken at night and without a tri pod so the quality is not that great. Nevertheless, it'll give some good comparison on how both cars compare in the 'looks' department. I...

    Test Drive 530d vs 320CDI

    I've had my E320 for over 2 weeks now and have not had a single issue (touch wood). I think being a 2nd year production makes a big difference as the bugs from the 1st year are ironed out. I agree with your thoughts on the look of the new 530. On the weekend I had the opportunity to park...

    An Aussie's opinion of the new 5 series

    I went to the, suposedly, 'exclusive' launch of the new 5 series in Adelaide. It was a very classy event. Black tie, Symphony Ochestra, $1000 lottery ticket with a 1 in 200 chance to win a new 5 etc etc etc... Kudos to the BMW dealers, they really know how to put on a show. Eventually the car...

    Parameter Steering

    I have Parameter steering on my E320 (W211). My understanding on how it works is that the tension on the steering wheel vary based on the speed you are doing. Basically, the slower you are, the lighter the steering is and the faster you are the tighter the steering becomes. It's a great...

    SBC Hold

    I have to ease up on the brake pedal about half way and then press down all the way to engage it. It could be that my initial braking is a bit heavy and the pedal was already past its 'SBC-H activation' point. Glad to hear you've got it working consistently now :bannana: Not a gimmick for...

    SBC Hold

    My SBC-H works very well. To engage it I have to be idle, on D, foot on brake, then lifting off the brake about half way then pressing it all the way down. I haven't tried it on a slope yet, maybe later today.

    DVD Command - screen brightness

    I am trying to find a way to lower the brightness of the Display Screen. I've already set it to the lowest Brightness setting but it is still too bright, especially when you are driving at night and there are no street lights. Even if the brightness cannot be lowered any further, is there a...

    Speed limit on W211

    My dealer had infact told me that I did not have to run in the engine. He made the claim that the engine would have had at least 20 hrs of running prior to shipping. Whether this is true or not I have no idea. I did the 220 km/h run after having around 400 kms on the odo. The car seems to run...

    Speed limit on W211

    I took my E320 on the highway a few nights ago and went upto 220 km/h. At that point I felt like the engine backed off a bit and I could not accellerate past 220 km/h. I also felt like there was something 'limiting' the engine from reving any higher. Is 220 km/h the limit that's imposed on...
