I like that that nice touches that used to be the preserve of 5/6:7 series are standard on the G01/G20/G29.

Little examples like where you are slowly approaching a parking spot and the front sensors come on automatically, no need to press a button.

Great which 6 cylinder petrol and diesels can I pick up, or what's a their equivalent of an M car? I just have missed them in the showroom.

Oh I don't dispute that, but I was just pointing out that I think something so simple to do has taken BMW a ridiculous amount of time!

Well it is the single thing about the car I would miss the most. Drove it this weekend. Put petrol in this weekend. I'd probably miss that too!

My car is nicely specced, but unfortunately the HUD was left out. Are there any good aftermarket options?

i thought about this once. The dealer can do a HUD that sits on the trim above the odometer area for £399 but this is nowhere near aesthetically pleasing or useful as a factory fitted HUD integrated into the windscreen hence I dropped the idea.

How far we've come indeed, my first car (1/5th share of a car actually) was a 1961 Ford Consul with three-speed gearbox, vacuum wipers, 59bhp 1.7 litre engine, crap drum brakes and worse handling. However, with bench seats and column change, you could squeeze seven people into it

HUD +1 - something I didn't think I'd need/use but will need on my next car

Heated steering - another option I had never had but something else I would deffo want again.

Surround view - it's good but reverse camera is fine.

Sunroof - I like how it brightens the cabin but not a deal breaker.
