I guess you have the outside temperature / check distance control. An OBC won't work without a little rewiring as the power supply pins move to a second connector your car probably doesn't have. -John '96 318is (with retrofitted OBC) -- john.firestone@nord-com.net

I agree with Ed that why on Earth BMW only put the 328 ci? Other factories such as Mercedes, Audi, Nissan put their top of the line car (CLK55, S4, Skyline, etc). They should have put all the ///M lines and Z8 so that we can compare them with other cars. However, I am pretty satisfied with the game. The graphics sure looks amazing and if you decided to buy it, don't forget to get the Logitech steering wheel to enhance the gaming experience. P.S: Has anyone tried the Toyota GT One yet? I tried it on my friend's memory card and boy, that car is a beast!

I've hit several potholes which I was sure I would bend one, but did not. I think it's the best looking wheel made for the E36. They are a b**ch to clean. I purchased mine used and two of them were spotted on the center sections, possibly from a too harsh wheel cleaner. I'm not sure what type of finish are on my centers, they're not polished or anodized, kind of just machined. They have become somewhat faded over time and I'm not sure how to bring the finish back. I use Mothers polish on the lips and it works well, but the contrast against the faded centers is bothersome.
