Passenger mirror tilt on reverse

I have the passenger mirror set to tilt down on reverse which helps me avoid scuffing the alloys. Ever since the last service where a new firmware was flashed, it fails to return to normal after I have reversed. Anyone else seeing this?

Fuel reserve

Hey All, A cautionary tale about the non existent fuel reserve on the XC40. Yesterday I chanced a journey from Zurich to Basel (90km) when the car was showing 100 km range. Since I have a BP fuel card I was planning to fill up at my destination. I was driving fairly easy on eco mode, and the range w...

Washing car - Auto locking and unlocking

So I am at the jetwash with the keys in my pocket and the car keeps locking and unlocking (mirror fold) presumably when the door handle senses water, the brush etc.. Is there a way to stop this happening?

Its not the end of the world, but a little annoying :?

Re: Standard or Premium Fuel?

On Monday I filled up with Shell V-Power 100 RON and have to say the difference is pretty remarkable. I've missed the snap your head back acceleration from my old 3l diesel Beemer, but after filling up with V-Power I am getting something similar. And when I select Polstar on the driver menu, it real...

Re: Onyx Black T5 Inscription

Looking good! What wheels are they? I've also ordered an Inscription Pro but don't think I saw them on the options list? As Septericus mentioned, but I am not sure I would necessarily recommend them :shock: Again I didn't test drive a car with these wheels but went with various reviews that said th...

Re: What do you think of the new Q3?

The Q3 was one of the models I test drove extensively before opting for the XC40, having eliminated the X2. I actually quite like the shape, and its definitely a sportier drive with better steering weighting (my biggest gripe about my car :roll: ). However the power output of the 45 TFSI was not as ...

Re: Onyx Black T5 Inscription

How loud does the volume go? When I tried on the test drive is was loud enough for me (off DAB radio) but I never pushed the volume high. I would say on full volume its about 75% of my old BMW 3-series with the same Harmon Kardon set up. I did notice this on test drive and someone else mentioned it...
