What really grinds my gears...
Discussion
...is when car adverts mix optional extras together with standard equipment!
Just one example - 2015 m235i currently up for sale on autotrader, described as follows:
"BMW M235I Dec 2015 (65), 4300 miles M sport styling package, Manual, Alpine white, Face-lift Bi-xenon headlights with LED signature angel eyes and headlight wash, Face-lift bar LED rear lights, 18" Alloys, M sport braking system, BMW 235i signature twin exhaust, Sun protection glass, Black gloss highline exterior trim, BMW performance black grilles and spoiler, Extended lighting package, Black dakota leather, Heated sports front seats, Black headlining, Black panel instrument cluster display, latest IDrive system, BMW Navigation, BMW media with DAB, Bluetooth etc, PDC front and rear with visual display, Multifunction sports steering wheel with variable steering, Adaptive driving modes including adaptive M sport suspension, Cruise control, Tyre monitor, Dual climate control/ Air Con, Auto lights/Wiper, Extended storage, Sliding front armrest, 2 keys, bookpacks, first aid kit, Does not require any servicing for another 11000 miles."
LOOK YOU TW*AT, ALL M235i's COME WITH FIRST AID KITS, 18" ALLOYS, MULTIFUNCTION SPORTS STEERING WHEEL ETC. ETC.! At least separate out the optional extras from standard equipment. Or better yet, don't bother listing standard equipment - for a car like this, you're advertising YOUR car, not M235i's in general...!!!
Rant over.
