    enjoy your test drive,dont expect to get the best milage out of the hybrid straight away it can take a little time to get used to the hybrid system but you will learn how to get the car to run in EV mode whilst driving around town,on the approach to a red light ease your foot off the accelerator and let the motors do some braking and recharge the batteries at the same time then use the foot brake like on any other car,dont forget to stick it in SPORT and give it a boot you wont be dissapointed

    i've never had a bmw the brand doesn't do anything for me ,what i can say about the IS300h is my daily commute is approx 26 miles per day i spend about 15 - 20 minutes around town and about 30 minutes of motorway driving per day and i am returning just over 47 mpg at the moment on motorway journey's the hybrid doesn't work as hard as round town ,when you put your foot down the hybrid system cuts in to assist the car accelerate rather than using loads of fuel to get you moving, OH and dont forget the road tax is £10 / yr how much is the BM .

    hi i have noticed the figure you have mentioned in the preview pane but when the files are unzipped they are the 162 figures when you click on extract a window appears it will show you where the files will be stored, i downloaded mine to the download folder (win7) software_update_102c zip file when extracted you will also see a folder in there named software_update_102c these are the extracted files

    why couldn't there be a download button to click onto, it would make life so much easier. i use IZarc for unzipping files its so easy to use.

    when i had my ct it had 17" wheels the ride was firm but not uncomfortable ,my se-L had heated leather seats with regards to the dog guard putting dents in the leather this wont be an issue in the ct due to the fact the boot in my opinion is too small to have a dog in there you will get a couple of suit cases in there and thats about all you really need to go an look and test drive one.

    it is easy open your boot lid and look at the lining you will see heads of the clips holding the lining in place i think there maybe 10 in total, you now need to remove the panel clips ,i use my panel removal tools the same as these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4pcs-Car-Door-Plastic-Trim-Panel-Dash-Installation-Removal-Pry-Tool-Kit-/172067722663?hash=item28100915a7:g:GTEAAOSwLnlWmiFT hook the fork shape under the head and gently lever the clip out you can see the fork being used on a white clip in one picture the bulb holder comes out like any other rotate it and pull.

    i have recommended the Dunlop Sport Maxx Rt's before based on a 215/45/17 tyre fuel economy A rated wet braking C rated road noise 67Db look at the tyre ratings labels as there is no reason to buy a tyre that reduces fuel economy and a lot of them aren't good,fuel economy is a major factor in buying a hybrid , you will have the tyres for a long time so make the correct purchase. the above tyres are £86.50 from kwik fit if you book online so price wise they wont break the bank here is a link showing tyres and their ratings https://www.kwik-fit.com/tyres/search/results/215/45/17/W

    the impurities that are present on the bodywork are also present on the glass and by removing the impurities it makes the glass surface a lot smoother just like the bodywork therefore water will bead off with ease

    i have used rain-x years ago & i found it made your wipers judderery across the windscreen maybe wipers / rain-x formula has changed over the years but i wouldn't use it again. i now clay bar the glass and use meguiars ultimate wax ,the wipers work perfectly really quiet & because of the wax the water sheets off with 1 pass of the wipers.

    i think i would give that garage a miss ,there is nothing to say they trade there a proper company would have a landline, only having a mobile isn't a professional way of operating and not having a showroom where you can browse whenever YOU want isn't right,i smell a rat.
