Thumbs up Performance, suspensions and asthetic mods?

I think it would be cool if we can name mods that are easy and not too expensive on one thread. Im going to do some searches and see what I can add to this thread. Anyone can join it to make this easier for us users in the future.

This pertains to the Navigation system:

Then hit the NAV button on the COMAND and chose recent destinations from the menu that lets you go into the POIs or Destination memory. From the recent destinations you can select the one that will be labeled with the time and date you hit the button from the map. When that comes up, then you can chose to save it and label it under anything you want. I think it goes under the coordinates.

I am vague on these directions because I am telling you this off the top of my head. I have not driven my E in a few days and I can totally remember. This works well since I use it to mark the new construction sites that I go to that are not yet on the map.

#2
I have not looked into this so I have no idea if it is even possible to do.

#3
I have not been able to keep the British voice on after I turn off the car either.

#4
I also have Linguatronic, but I never think about using it when I am in the NAV mode on the COMAND. The users manual has a part on this.

This is all I can help you with,

Steve

Thanks for the reminder.

Don't think Pep Boys carry 20" hubs, though.

Cars sold in the USA come with amber corner lights on the front bumper. The euro impact strip eliminates this amber light by replacing the entire strip. Gives the car a cleaner look. A picture of it could be found here.

Is there any legal implications to not having the side amber light in the bumper?

I haven't heard of anyone getting cited or ticketed for deleting their side marker.

i can't wait to get my strips, man o man..does it make a difference. I didn't know how big the strips were, or even really noticed them at all until I started looking at other cars. I think they are definitely a nice / inexpensive exterior mod.
