Darn! Forgot to steal the smoker pack out of my hired Hyundai in South Africa. (ashtray that fits in cup holder).

The MIL's new i10 self-perambulating ashtray will probably need emptying soon.

Do you want one? Sure I've got a couple knocking about somewhere :-\
I took mine out of the Astra. Scumbags know that people fill them up with change for car parks etc., and will break a window to snatch it.

AR35 is by far the worst behaved autobox in my experience. Volvo/BMW/Mercedes/Modern Jaguar/ford all buy better boxes.  Unless we're talking a 1:3 gradient I would expect any of my autos to sit still (or preferably creep slightly) until they're told to do otherwise.

AR35 as was fitted to 5 series BMWs? (named the 4L30E)

Pass, quite possibly; I've never owned a 5. (although that would nicely explain why the 528i touring I drove a couple of weeks ago seemed to have torque converter slip... maybe it was just an AR35  :-\ )

Personally I much prefer the ZF 5HP in the 728i...  Or the 5G-tronic in the S class... Or walking...  ;D

No noticeable slip on my 5 speed 525 box... That said I haven't driven it for nearly a week :-X

We have a tiptronic '53 Sprinter at work and the box in that is horrific... Try a standing start on a steep slope and in D it will roll back about 20' before the slop comes out of the drivetrain :D

#sarcasm ::)

You report it doesn't slip and it transpires not to be an AR35 (by any other name). ;)
