Hi all
I really love the super modern feel / engine and exhaust sound / performance (as I run it in anyway) of this CTR. My other car (which I may sell soon) is E46M3 SMG. Had that for 13 years !! I think at the higher revs the M3 still howls like nothing else but ... she's getting on and I want to store her soon (114k miles) - if I don't sell.
This CTR feels like the 21st Century. I have a couple of questions (diff noise being one) but I'm sure the niggles will be sorted by the warranty.
My main issue is the hifi. Now I thought the HK set up in my BMW was poor but it is simply streets ahead of the feeble (11 speakers!! WTF?) thing in my lovely modern hatchback.
I wanted to listen to it on the test drive but ... no CD player (yes I am old). So I assumed 11 speakers would be enough - and a more modern system etc etc - it would be ok (WRONG!!)
I since discovered North America gets a 12th Speaker - a sub. Can this be fitted to UK spec cars? Anyone any experience of easy and 'as OEM as possible' ways to get some decent sound?
As I say I love the car but it would be even better with a bit more in the sounds dept !!
