I found out the the service packs in the UK comes in two levels, service pack and service pack plus. Service pack is the general oil change and filters , plugs .Service pack plus cover clutches, pads, disks etc ...
It booked into the dealership to get it checked out . I unfortunately had the standard service pack ....
During a small state of insanity , I went and test drove a vantage S V8 auto today .. The gear change is so violent its like the older M5 , the throttle response is rubbish . When you put you foot to the floor in auto mode , there is a delay of 2 seconds before it decides to kill the power and choose the gears for you !.
The cabin is really outdated and ride quality is pretty poor . The noise is great , but that's what you get for poor sound dampening . This was a 2014 model , I was disappointed on the refinements and sat nav in the cabin . But the biggest difference was the gear change , what a load of crap, just image changing on a a sweeping bend at 100mph , you end up spinning the car , or exiting a roundabout catching the apex ...
Then I realised why it felt terrible , I was driving the state the art BMW M6 , even the dealer said " Why" , I guess I was bored on a sunny day .
Car is going in on Tuesday next week, I am getting my reader back on the weekend , so will be able to tell you if the reader works with the BMW .
