Why not just assign seat position 1 to your key?

One key two drivers, no key ring, just the key. House key separate for the nights out (in the olden days). Wife's E93 key separate also.

It's been like this for 20+ years.

Fair enough but you can still apply position one to *the* key and let the missus have to press position 2 when she gets in. Why should you do all the work?

Come on, obviously what's mine is hers etc

It would make more sense for position 2 being assigned to the key as she does all the school runs while I watch Fantom Works/Wheeler Dealers, I mean WFH :

Performance is a little difficult to answer at the moment as I've only done a few hundred miles and most of that was A & B roads.Ive had a fair few 3.0D's over the years and found that they give the best performance once the engine has done around 10k miles.But after coming from an M140 it has oodles of low down grunt and with 4WD she just grips and goes

Not technically a 21 plate but I finally picked mine up on Friday - though it's gone straight to Autocurators for PPF and ceramic so I don't expect to get it back until Wednesday.

Here it is in "badged" state. All badges are now off.

Every picture I see of your car.. it's not helping my cause for wanting to hang on to my 335.

I spent way too much time the other night messing around with the individual colour configurator on the G21, whilst doing so some of the colours appeared to say not available on the touring, your colour may have even been one of them. Maybe it was a glitch

Are you using the uk individualiser or the global one? I found the global one much better...

Ah, that's better. Doesn't appear to be any errors on that version. Although it doesn't show a cost, I assume all of the colours are approx £4K?

Get some Wet and Forget from Amazon. Dilute and spray it on the drive and the moss will die. Kills algae etc. Works well.

You could also try Spear & Jackson ‘Spray & Leave’. Did mine last year and worked well. Wants doing again now though.
