To my surprise earlier there was a text message at the top of the info screen saying Happy New Year (included BMW) in there somehow but not paying too much attention. Then pushed the rotary controller forward to get to messages and it started it's sequence. Wasn't expecting that. Here's a link to a video of it. I did get it to play a second time later on. I missed the Christmas one - if there really was one :-) But this link above doesn't seem to play all the sound but the embedded version here does... odd. www.bmwblog.com/2020/12/23/bmw-christmas-greetings/Blwyddyn newydd dda! |

Crikey! I wonder if mine’s new enough to do that.

Glasses of champagne?! Pretty brave of a car manufacturer to juxtapose booze anywhere near their product!

I know you might be using a German keyboard, and being ahead of us you've already toasted in Brexmas and the New Year.......... ......and I know I shouldn't be so picky, but your keyboard appears to be somewhat lexicographically challenged. (Them Ruskis still like dollars - it's history innit! And any fuel kno that Paypal won't pay an end recipient in Bitcoin) |

That must be the open transparent branch who like to leave an audit trail of extortion 🤔

When people, who really should know better as mods, start insulting posters through the humorous use of the strikethrough maybe it's time to call it a day.

through the humorous use of the strikethrough ...indeed, that was what was intended... but apparently not how it was taken. I'm not a mod, I was made, unasked, an administrator. ...but, that's me out for the second and final time. Sorry! |

There are no real mods on here - technically Humph is the mod but has any thread ever been edited? As Admin (which tyrednemotional should have had as another account and not his normal one) he could do anything but the only thing he did was extend the time to edit our own posts as requested.
And the strike through post was a bit much. I usually see that as someone 'correcting' someone's previous post with a bit of humour. Not calling someone a name.

Oh bollocks. So much for 2021 being an improvement!
That was all a bit unnecessary, wasn’t it? Can’t we just get on with getting on?

Agreed. I can't see anything here that's worth getting steamed up about.
Happy New Year everyone.
