Yeah mate I have found you have to sacrifice something when looking for your perfect spec, or the one you want is in deep Englandshire.

I guess I could lose the bumwarmers, and look to retrofit later. Which reminds me of more questions...

I've read retrofitting MFSW buttons to a 3 spoke wheel is a bit of a mare?

And changing the head unit on an R56, I wouldn't know where to start
Not a problem if the head unit charges the iPod simultaenously when playing, but if not I want my own Alpine iPod in there
