The above controls the transfer pumps, countermeasures and wet/dry mode.
I got as far as this, and had to re-read...
Me too, heh.

All told, we might have a near maximum score of PH points here. The mods need to allow up-voting for ToTD purposes!

Not sure I would have ditched the A/C if I was spending 8+ hours in the car through Europe in the summer.

Must get a little warm :-)

Thanks!

It very rarely gets used during the day so that's not too much of a concern. Even in the middle of the summer it's not much past 22 degrees at night even way down South.

It changes the mode of the "parking sensors", turns off power to the rear lighting circuit and puts the display screen into a differnet display mode. Not quite James bond but useful if required.

Fantastic concept and intriguing. I have always been of the belief that cars should be used not cherished.

This is the best thing I've seen on PH in yonks. So cool. Bravo clap

Makes me think of the cars used for the coast to coast races in the US. This is a good documentary if anyone is interested:

If you like that, you need to read Alex Roy's attempt in an E39 M5. That book is responsible for me owning two of the damn things.

OP - you have a stunning car, thanks for sharing. Hope you can add some more detail here or in the feature article thumbup

Si - hehe that M5 run nearly had me shelling out for a V8 saloon that I absolutely could not afford to feed nor have any logical requirement!
