| Not so bad so Yeah, the brakes are definitely the weakest link on the S......  The bit of shake you get is one of the things that scared me off the cabrio - the Irish roads are not quite mirror smooth - and I feared that would shake the car to bits over a period of time, certainly causing more potential rattles. Plus, where I live , on the North-West coast, the weather is certainly NOT guaranteed sunny...... Good to hear it can keep up on the track - I have seen Steve in action over here on MtM....... |

| Totally agree with that. I got the wiring harness form Mikey and the nokia Blue tooth kit from ebay. I fitted it my self in about an hour and all that for about £100. Works very well and all linked into the HK Hifi in the car. The only issue as mentioned above is the amount of road noise in the convertible at motorway speeds. |

| I tried one of those but the battery in the head sets lasts for about a nano second before going flat, plus I hate the discomfort. I tend to be on the phone continuously whilst driving my car in the week. |

| I just tend to answer the phone, people then realise I am driving, with the roof down of course, say what they want and then hang up They know there will be no audible response from me, what with the whine of the supercharger and the exhaust, then the wind noise too |

| Includes the armrest. I'd go aftermarket but I want to voice control, it's so James Bond I just couldn't resist the cool factor! I read there's problems with hk/sat nav and the icelink? If not I'd certainly consider it... How much are the 105s? Just googled a pic and they look very What's the deal with the aero kit, is it a post factory thing? I thought the S came with some degree of aero kittage?Well, you only live once, who needs financial prudance eh |

| But its far from foolproof - had it on my last 5 series , and my current , month old 325 Sport - while its improved since 04, its still prone to mishearing you....... I've heard they can be had for around £1,300 ? No Aero at all on the S, will have to be fitted by your dealer  |

| Hmmm, have to think about that one, it is cool, but perhaps I could invest the money on something else cool.... How much? FOR WHEELS?! And I thought the bluetooth was extravagant! I think I'll save up for the aerokit |

| and the other thing to keep in mind is that you get the wheels the car comes with, so those could be sold on for about £450-500, so they aren't that bad in price |
