My BMW has successfully updated ota several times, as has others. Audi also do over the air as well. I never expect them to fix all the issues though small.

I think you might be confusing the external temperature sensor with the intake temperature sensor Intake-air temperature sensor – checking & faults | HELLA. The external temperature sensor is there only for the heating systems External Temperature Sensors | GSF Car Parts

Choosing a car can be a compromise, or even 'getting used' to something that is lacking and I went from a manual gearbox to an automatic but that was no real big step as I can still use it in manual mode with the paddles. Unfortunately I am a self confessed petrol head though and follow all...

Thank you for your contribution, love the way you talk to me as not actually being here. Still you're entitled to your opinion, as much as anyone is. Your comments are noted..

Thanks for your reply, yes maybe you're right in there isn't yet an EV that's right for me, they should though become cheaper with battery and motor technology improving one hopes. There is also hydrogen and e-fuels to look at. As for manuals versus automatics, we still have a 1.0l fiesta and I...

I've driven ICE cars, and motorcycles, of various incarnations for over 50 years and what I would miss is a very long list, it was bad enough going from a manual gearbox to an automatic, however losing the sound - not so sure. I have no qualms about the range EV's have, although with one or two...

Well things have moved on since 'back in the day' and EV's probably didn't exist then anyway. I'm trying to convince myself, as we're moving house soon and long drives are going to be history, that a EV is the way to go but I'm finding the arguments for them rather unconvincing..

A tad of a unfair comparison as I easily get 48mpg from my M235i without trying on A roads and that equates to around over 400 miles to a tankfull. I drive from the south coast to the most easterly point in the uk and back without filling up and I don't hang around either. 0-62 is 4.8 secs and...

Unfortunately I haven't got an M2, that is a completely different beast, not that I'm interested in drag races anyway, my car is below..

Got them on my bmw s2 gc as well, blooming awful and tramline like mad. Majority of 2019- series 1 & 2 owners have got rid of them..

I'm not about to argue whether what you've done is an improvement or not. I'm asking if you checked with MG first as it might give them the ammunition to void your warranty. So did you?

Thanks for the mini review, once we've moved house I also plan to test drive a x-power and see how the handling compares to my BMW Series 2 M235i GC..

If you introduce a non standard treatment to the underside you may well give MG the opportunity to void the corrosion warranty. Did you check with them first and got everything in writing.

And that is an issue because it's so competitively priced they'll be some buying it that do not have the experience of driving such a fast accelerating car. Either that they will be scared of it and just poddle around, which is a complete waste.
