New car: first song?

aaflyer79 · 10-29-2014, 03:35 PM

Long time lurker and first time poster! Just 'joined'. Anyway, got a 330D M Sport on order. Ordered start of October for delivery wk 48.
EB
Interior Comfort
Sport + pack
Vis pack
Heated front seats
Winters going on at arrival so I'll have to wait for 19" 403s!

Can't wait! Anyway, I always like to think about the first song played in a new car. Is it just me?! With the HK system I'm thinking of Aerosmith's 'Sweet Emotion' (end credits of Starsky and Hutch film of a few years ago) or Queen's 'Fat Bottomed Girls'. Or may put on a Willy Nelson or C W McCall (points for the latter's song and iconic film...?!):

What's your first song?

No media pack?

aaflyer79 · 10-29-2014, 04:27 PM

No, didn't need the sat nav as I rarely go anywhere too far or different! Did you find it good?

PurpleTT · 10-29-2014, 04:32 PM

My first was the (typically esoteric forum type chune) "Hey now I'm in Love" by Vic Goddard and the Subway Sect!

Just happened to be the first on a compilation CD that one of the kids made me specially for the occasion.

Top man, that's a great and probably unique question on these very repetitive forums!

I always have the same dilemma with my new motors, so love building a new playlist to suit. I can think of loads, but can I suggest (new and old):

AWOLNATION - MF (make sure kids not in the car)
Dr Dre - Still (comment as above)
Queen - Headlong
Steppenwolf - Magic Carpet Ride
Uriah Heap - Gypsy
Led Zepplin - Babe I'm gonnna leave you

Absolutely nothing wrong with Sweet Emotion - fantastic track!

Media pack gives more than just sat Nav though, it adds bluetooth music streaming, full control of iphone/iPod over usb, voice control, album cover art and a nicer idrive controller and better screen.

Also on all the PCP & PCH quotes I got Business media pack was either very little extra per month (less than £10) or even no extra on some due to the increase in residual value of the car!

Thanks, teaston. Does that mean without it I'll be unable to stream music to my iPhone 5 or will it just disable the album art as you mention?

Sinatra - My Way.

HFW003 · 10-29-2014, 11:52 PM

The Stargate Mix of Personal Jesus was my first song in the car, beautiful!

I think without a media pack there's no BT streaming, and you can't use the Lightning cable. You either use a aux cable and control everything from the phone screen, or get a y cable and then you can just do next track or back a track from the car controls.

I'm not 100% on this, it would be helpful if someone without nav or EBT on a post March built car could chime in?
