flys are the biggest problem for my Candy White ...but get the car properly waxed with a decent wax though, and they'll just wash straight off with the jetwash or a washmitt

what's a decent wax?  :undecided:

Yep, Thats the same seller I got mine off. Apologies, I paid £75 not £60.
It came brand new unopened.

There was already a hole at the top of the glovebox, so did not need to do any drilling.
The instructions that come with is are good. The hardest part of the job was getting the brown wire out of the existing radio connector. On the instructions it tells you to use a VAG tool which I didn't have.
I found 2 safety pins pushed down the side if the connector did the trick.
The kit comes with a little connector with the same brown wire connection on, so there is no wire cutting just plug and pray.

I think there has been a few posts on what info you get on the headunit.
My experience is that the MFD2 reports that it has a CD in magazine slot 1 and another in magazine slot 6.
Both virtual "CD's" have 99 tracks each. You do not get the actual track name it just says CD1 Track 1 etc. (this is also displayed on the highline computer)

My last car was a BMW 3 series cab Msport, but this ed30 knocks the pants off it in the driving department. Much more comfortable and twice as fast.
The ed30 is a thrill a minute and I'm still taking it easy while it's not quite run in yet


i also had a BMW .325 CI CONVERTIALBE i traded it for a ed30 (have nt got yet :cry:)the wife thougt i was mad i guess im not the only one. Nice CAR (CANDY WHITE IS GROWING ON ME ) :rolleyes:

I resisted the urge to ring and change the colour (pre-manufacture) about 10 times. I love the steel grey colour but stuck to my guns and went with my gut feeling. I told a couple of my neighbours I was getting a white car and they just looked at me with a "you lost the plot bud" look.
soooo pleased I didn't change my mind, it looks awesome, one of the few cars that can pull it off.

Black for myself but I am warming to white. Agree with using a good quality wax such as Meguiars, P21S, Zymol or Swissol. Good looking car and I'm sure you will enjoy it immensely :wink:
