Great info as always Paul. I love the fact i can be away for a few days and within a few mins of looking at your posts, im back up to scratch!

The B&O system at £972 sounds good, esp after being reported to cost £7000!

Glad to be of help ... after all ... one of the things I really like about enthusiast based sites is ... someone somewhere will always know something someone else isn't yet aware of ... and its so easy to let others know about it on in a forum like this.

Yep ... it's going to be difficult not to tick the box for this option!

Sounds like I was pretty spot-on with my guestimate for the cost of the Magnetic Ride then

Didn't expect Carbon blades to cost so much, nor the engine bay dressing... that's a shame.
