As manders said, its because our cars are already very highly specced right from the factory, so it looks like we get less options when in reality its close to top spec.

Our cars come with the Premium, Performance and Security packages as standard (select a premium Mustang, add the other two packs and you end up with our base spec cars).

The garage door opener is missing because the USA likes to be special and run everything on a different radio frequency (hence why export radios have a different frequency band), plus the market for such things isn't very big in the UK, so they probably didn't bother in order to save cash.

Recaro seats weren't added because the cost of changing the airbags and seatbelt mountings for Right Hand Drive couldn't be justified.

Driving aids, such as lane keep assist and blind spot monitoring, aren't included because of cost and, I think remember reading somewhere, that people in Europe simply don't bother with it unless it comes as standard on the car. Just look at even BMWs on Auto Trader in the used section and you'll be hard pressed to find one with lane keep assist et al. fitted to it.

Everyone was giving lip about a picture of me doing a thumbs up in a vest, so I went and took the smuggest picture I could muster whilst keeping a (somewhat) straight face, purely for the forum. I'mma ride this joke train until it derails!

You'll also notice my tag-line now says "Whey Protein" :lol:

When the car arrives it'll be a picture of that, so crank out the gym-rat jokes whilst you can.

Looking a bit 'merican there if I may say so.

Lol, will see what I can do, though you'll note the beemer is gone from the pic (still got the car however, as its a keeper!)


Broken indicator stalk, ofc.
Not going that far ;)

"Very fitting" or "nightmare come true", depending on your point of view.



Fixed that for you.
Hench should never be in a sentence describing ben [emoji13]
