2001 E39 M5 Newbie queries

[stevebower]

Hi Chaps

A new migrant from the Audi forums here.

I have just bought a 2001 E39 M5 & have a couple of queries:

1) Can the armrest be converted to one without phone prep, & also opens?

2) Anyone know how if there is a good independant in South Manchester

3) Anyone in SM area with the programming software to configure some of the options (e.g. lock doors on drive-off)

4) How much trouble is it to remove alu trim & fit wood (I like a bit of furniture)

I dare say there will be other questions, meantime having a lot of fun!

Steve
