So that's what a base spec BMW is like!

Clearly, a lot of thought and effort went into that advert. Certainly getting good exposure now hehe

To be fair, on the left is a selection of menu's with much more info listed.

So there is. Although in some ways that makes it worse as there are actually some things in that list that are vaguely interesting, like auto dimming rear view mirror, on board computer, air conditioning and so on.

Clearly whoever drafted the ad thought a heated rear screen and two speed wipers were more enticing however. biggrin

Oh wait, no that's a description of a car that's a bit like the one they're selling, of which some bits may or may not be relevant.

It's just a cut and paste from the BMW website. Really worth an thread?

It has more 'special features' than my car.

to be fair, my classic mini has none of those features!

my 'rear screen demister' is a long bbq fork with a sponge jabbed onto the prongs, i can wipe the rear window when im sat in the drivers seat smile

Indeed, were it a classic Mini it'd be quite an impressive list.

I'm inclined to think that it wouldn't have taken a lot of effort to find something rather more enticing on a 3 Series BMW however. biggrin
