Re: Question on T5 Hybrid Range.

Mine was charged overnight, have had it since April and picked it up just shy of 5000km driven, now just shy of 10k. Max charge has always brought me 40km range.
Now i've been charging it at work during the day, as it suddenly became free of charge. Today my range was 45km...

Re: Driver Assist Package - Is it worth it?

We had the blind spot stuff in the wing mirror on our RRS and thought it was a bit of a gimmick, when we chopped the RRS in for the wife's car, which doesn't have BSA. That's when we noticed how much we used and it now missed it. When i bought the XC40 i made sure it has BSA and think no car should ...

Re: Touchscreen tricks

OK, pretty much what I'm doing now. Voice commands in the BMW are hit and miss and often result in me firing off a salvo of expletives at the BMW assistant.

Touchscreen tricks

IS there a knack to using the touch screen, whilst driving when trying to click on podcasts or tracks in Spotify, i'm touch the track but nothing happens, more often than not the screen slides up or down. I know there is a feint audio sound when the tile is selected. Thought it would be a bit more s...

Re: New XC40, Glacier White T5 Recharge

Nice colour, I have the same colour in RD-pro trim in the UK. Couple of observation, the 100G data Vodafone SIM is for new cars in UK. Not sure the same promotion is also in Europe?

Re: New XC40, Glacier White T5 Recharge

Yes, Apparently when buying it was described as 'the grey car over there'. Then we were told it was Glacier White. When the sun shines it's more pearlescent white and in darker weather it becomes greyer.
Blue might be the Helsinki spring morning light

Re: New XC40, Glacier Silver T5 Recharge

Ok, thanks. I found the sim holder in the boot yesterday. I have a spare data SIM so will put that in there. What sized card does it take?

My daughter tells me photo's are all about an angle. So the road is actually flat. :)

Re: New XC40, Glacier Silver T5 Recharge

Thanks, Have set the daughter up with the Orange key and made sure the max speed allowed is the maximum speed limit. I had the Utility bracelet for the RRS but never used it, so let's see if the flash drive key gets used. Trying to set up Spotify, in our other car (BMW 530e) Spotify was a case of sc...
