And another new Perth member

Pretz · 02-15-2012, 08:19 PM

Hi all.

Just picked up an 08 manual convertible. Wrestling with iPhone 4S bluetooth connection but otherwise all good!

RaihaX · 02-15-2012, 08:39 PM

Congrats

Any photos?

Whats wrong with your bluetooth connection ? mine is working fine.

Pretz · 02-15-2012, 10:00 PM

Sorted! Turns out you need to enter the PIN into the radio first - I was waiting for the phone to respond and ask for a PIN. Doh!

A bit frustrated that I can't stream audio via Bluetooth though. Or get the USB setting to recognise the iPhone (I think I may need a special BMW adaptor for that).

Anyway, here's a quick pic:

RaihaX · 02-15-2012, 10:03 PM

Yeah you need the BMW Y Adaptor which is annoying.

I just use a USB stick and put all my music in there to be honest.

Never been a fan of audio streaming, the quality is horrendous when I tried it out on the E90!

Nice colour combo

where abouts are you located in Perth?

Planning to mod it?

Did BMW open like 17 new dealerships in Perth or something? Or is Rey driving the streets at night handing out flyers?

Welcome mate

I'm up in the hills. Tough for cycling; great for driving. No immediate plans for mods, but who knows what will end up tempting me...

Welcome mate

haha yeah. maybe heaps of people are flogging them off as they run out of warranty and they are a whole lot cheaper to buy now than new!

Maybe our next meet up should be to drive up to the hills and have lunch at your place?

Famous last words....

Rey's already going "welcome to the parlour, said the spider to the fly...."

Welcome and nice vert!

Welcome

Knightelf · 02-16-2012, 07:16 PM

Welcome

We need more Brisbanites! There's quite a few cars on the market but for some reason the used 135's for sale over here tend to be more expensive (generally $70k+)

RaihaX · 02-16-2012, 07:42 PM

Hmm probably everyone in Brisbane are brain dead due to meth, they are all meth addicts I tell you!

Why a couple of flights? Surely half the fun in buying from the ES is the drive home - the long way via Great Ocean Road

Assuming people look at more than one car ;-)
When I move back I'm driving over, the scenic way. Was going to drive both ways for my next trip, but didnt have the time.
