ES Fsport - first 1000 Miles

[DanD]

My E90 had a ventilation timer thing. And it was a basic enough spec...
Never bothered to use it as I thought the risk of a flat battery not worth it.

Mine had an additional Battery dedicated to this auxiliary heater.

I'm embarrassed not to have looked under the hood more. Or was it in the rear wheel arch near the main Battery?

Now you're testing me! I seem to remember that it was ahead of the rear wheel arch on the drivers side, bearing in mind that this wasa large 7 seater. You to make a noise similar to a large fan.

Audio - the ML setup is fantastic, I’m a self confessed hifi geek and feeding Lossless Tidal hifi into the ML system sounds incredible.  I’m going to play about with master quality files to really stretch its legs.  The quietness of the cabin also helps the audio playback.

I stream all my music from apple Music and I’m happy with it in my NX and on my B&W Zeppelin.  Would Tidal Master be noticeably better in the ES over apple?  It’s a serious question and I’m not trying to be funny or clever.  I pay around £15 per month for my 6 family and friends membership but would consider Tidal if I thought it was going to sound amazing.  I think there’s a trial free period.  James, have you tried Tidal Master yet in the ES?

Cheers

I have been using ITunes for years through different cars I’ve had, it played with no issues even on the IS300h Advance I had before I got the ES. The difference between ITunes and Tidal in the ES on the ML system is significant. Play a track on itunes and then play the same track on Tidal in either Hifi or Master format and you will be impressed. Live music is excellent on the ML via Tidal in Master.

Evening Chap, are you not tempted to use ECO mode.  I believe that it is the only mode which enables the AGC system to operate.

typically fuel economy improves a little as the engine runs in, previous hybrids I have owned needed up to 10k miles to fully loosen up

Hi, I am still playing at the moment, I have a couple of long distance trips in October and November, I may try it out on a run down to Plymouth. I did notice today coming back from Leeds that in ECO Mode, EV Mode kicks in when coasting at 60mph.

Average speed is not the greatest considering German roads on the way, but consumption is really nice.

How much does it burn at the max speed ?
