Blk/Blk, steptronic, moonroof, xenons, heated seats.

Love it. Very fun to drive. I've owned bimmers in the past and this time, I don't think I could go back and drive anything else. Simply the best combination of fun, handling, speed, and ergonomics in its class.

Couple of questions:

1. On the way home, the sun was shining on the center console. I was still able to read the temperature display (the background was relatively black and there was sufficient contrast to read the temperature and fan speed). However, the radio display was completely washed out, and I couldn't read a thing. The background was noticeably more "orange" and did not contrast enough with the actual display to be readable. Is this normal?

2. I was driving with the windows open and drove by a few jersey walls. I could hear a continuous ticking sound coming from the front left tire (I think). Is this normal?

Thanks.

I have noticed it as well, so it's probably normal.

You might have a rock embedded in your tire. If so, remove it.

Congrats and enjoy your new ride!

I just got an '04 convertible and I have the same radio display problem. No tick, though, so something's there.

I used to play a character named Crix in an online game. Is your name from Star Wars or something else?
