The M-DCT is terrible in town but acceptable out of it, but manual is best everywhere and the only choice. If your mum can't drive a manual, let her drive the X and tell your dad he has to drive the M3 ... but as a manual.

seriously, heated seats anywhere north of the queensland border would be horrible

in our 'winter' you can actually wear a pair of jeans on some days if you're lucky enough, but the humidity will see you sweating if you try anything more than a casual walk

beautiful cars, congrats

thanks jimsaq,
i agree, heated seats are useless here in sunny brisbane. i have them on my car and only use them to freak the passenger out!!!
btw jimsaq, how are those photos of your beautiful ruby black X5 coming ?

I am a slack bugger :/
instead of washing the car and taking pics of it, I drove up to coastline to look at the carbon black X6 M you told me about
