The absolute breakwit who designed the BMW E90.

On the upside, at least they still have some (proper) car designers, unlike the retards you love so much

[countrywoman]

Only 20! They are all like it now.

In case anyone ne was unsure, I oppsing hate Chiltern useless railways

Piss up and brewery is far too kind

[Doctor Gollum]

Only 20! They are all like it now.

The ML uses 10 bolts, two screws and 6 push pins. But at least Mercedes engineers, even from Alabama, have the sense to use the push pins in the wheel arch... And the Mercedes go to for using a slide in locking bar to clamp the wing and bumper together is fool proof even if the wing is distorted and full of filler. Using two hidden screws on a joint that is less than 4 inches long is assinine.

Yeah, as I said, they ar mongrels.  Have been since they disbanded their design team in the 80s....

I didn't realise you had such a high regard of BMWs too

No, I was referring to the worse of all the German marques, which isn't BMW or VAG

I would like to have "a chat" with Sir Ian Callum, who designed both my cars.

More than that, I'd like to have a chat with the post design penny pinchers and the minkys responsible for pre-production decisions.  Such as using a torx bolt on the suspension that needs a T60 bit, and the idiot who uses a bolt that's 2" too long to hold the front lower arm to the subframe.

Surprisingly, I feel the need to praise the brummies who bolted them together - one was build in Castle Brom, other in Solihull - as they are well put together and rattle free.

Yesterday, I remembered I still need to look at the wireless in the XJ, as for months I've only been able to receive a handful of stations on DAB.  Not sure what is going on there, as I don't think there has been any recent changes after the introduction of DAB+ ?

Check to see if FM and TV is still ok, they share common amps and antennas.

Also make sure you have not fitted any of your favourite Chinesium extras which could be chucking EMC out all over the DAB band

I have a vague recollection of a DAB+ module upgrade you could do (C2D33982)?
