  1. Chris P, I bought it at Pius Buchs in Meyrin, and we why not for the meet. Will let you know once I get it.
  2. I have actually been on TS.net for a while but in a different forum (R32). In Switzerland the M3 comes with the folding mirrors . The specs are as follows: Professional GPS SMG2 19" wheels Harman Kardon Bluetooth phone kit Black leather interior Gray exterior. Cant wait to get it......
  3. Congrats robroy. I have just ordered almost the same (dark gray) (ordered it on Friday) however I am expecting delivery in March. June does seem a long time to wait.
  4. Snail, Thanks for the info. This is what I was assuming but wanted to double check. So, if I got this Clarion system in the UK, do you think I could hook up my Pioneer navigation system to this screen? If not I will just sell the whole Pioneer system and get the Clarion one. Anyone want an almost new Pioneer system?
  5. Hello everyone, I am looking into buying another headunit for my R32 and was wondering if anyone could help me out with the US/Europe standards. I am looking into getting a Clarion VRX935VD from a shop in the US, but was wondering if this would work correctly over here in Europe. All input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
  6. Hello Mo, Thanks for the info. I will have a look tonight and let you know what was cut. Actually the AVIC-90DAV2 consists of three seperate units (AVIC-8DVD, the screen with DVD player, and the seperate sound processing unit). For some reason, I always had issues with overheating in my S3 (actually only the screen unit). It would run fine for the first 15 minutes and then it would overheat and the cd/dvd would not work anymore for a few hours...
  7. I actually have a Pioneer AVIC-90DAV2 but the guy who installed/uninstalled it, cut quite a few wires... I had a look and the current wiring in my R32, but cannot figure out how to install this damn thing... You would not be coming to Geneva anytime soon, would you.... Oh by the way, do you have any problems with your system over heating.
  8. Hello everyone, As I sold my S3 and bought an R32, I removed my Pioneer Sat Nav from my S3 but now have to install it in my R32. Does anyone know how to do this? It looks rather complicated...
  9. I have actually looked into supercharing my R32. I checked with Z-engineering, which I believe is quite a good supercharger. They told me that it is possible to use the V6 supercharger in the R32, but that they would have to remap the ECU. However they have not done this before and it would cost a fortune as they do not have any examples of other ECUs. Basically, the entire installation would cost about 10'000 Swiss francs and the supercharger could not be run at full power (.3 bar) instead of the normal .4 or .5 bar with the V6 engine. So I am thinking about it, but am not yet sure, as it is a little steep. However it would increase the output from 240 to about 310 horses. Which is far beyond what I really need.

    I have just noticed that there are already a few pics in the gallery that you can drool over. Mine is exactly the same, black with black leather. I will however try and post a few more.

    I actually have just received it (Monday), so I have to test it out a little this week end. I am going up to the mountains so I will be able to really test it on the Swiss mountain roads. I will try and post a few pics and possibly a short review on Monday or so.

    Hello all, I have actually just sold my S3 and bought a black R32. To tell you the truth, I much prefer the R32 to the S3. The only problem in my opinion is that the clutch is not hard enough. But a part from that the sound and the acceleration is really nice.
