what's the dyno figures in awhp?
I am in Laos and the car is in Chesterfield, UK. I am receiving limited info via email and Instagram (scoobyclinic). I received the image today, which I posted, but none of the Dyno data. The car is now to be driven on local roads at engine rpm < 3000 for 1000 miles. I am due to collect the car mid Feb.

Your horn needs hiding, @den1mhead (pardon the phrasing).
The one on my old Impreza was shocking. Sounded like Road Runner with a lung full of helium. Think it’s a Japanese thing.

ahh cool cool. looking forward to when you pick it up. would you ever go flex fuel? i believe it's currently tuned for 98?

It’s dreadful. Not a clue what they were thinking.

Maybe this belongs in unpop ops but I really dig the new BMW design language. While it’s missing the sleek designs of years past, it brings back a gritty allure than originally drew me to the brand on comparison to merc and Audi

That 7 Series looks more like a Lincoln than a Bimmer.
BMW periodically have design misses. For instance, the angular styling the introduced around the 2003 timeframe wasn't terribly attractive. Usually the marquis marques make slow, understated changes, so when they don't, it is jarring. Even Rolls-Royce is guilty of this with cars that share that Chrysler-esque grill (understanding that the mimicry goes both ways).
I think Mercedes have been pretty good about iterating on designs and retaining a balance between familiarity of design language and making the prior model years look dated. Not an easy thing to do, but one expects it of BMW. Disappointing miss.

Good point buddy. I hadn't really noticed it until now. I will either move it or do as LB suggested and install a better horn.

Flex fuel isn't something I've considered buddy.
Higher the octane number the better [emoji16]
We are so looking forward to collecting the car. We elected to let the garage do the 1000 mile run-in so they can address any issues. Also, it works out that when we get back home to UK the car should be dialed in [emoji106]Sent from my CLT-L09 using Tapatalk
