Hi Mike
I am another Brit living in France who has just joined - albeit without your clearly outstanding provenance!! Living near Alençon in Basse Normandie. Was wondering how many members on this site live in France and not sure how to sort and find out. Can anyone please advise??
Just ask the question on the open forum. We used to have a members map, but not anymore.

Tony.

It would be fun to have a meeting sometime - perhaps a hotel weekend?

Excellent idea Mike but I fear the weather will be against us before next Spring. A sunny, dry Z3 week-end in April/May 2022 somewhere interesting between us would be great. How would La Rochelle suit you for example?? We would be very happy to see that lovely harbour again.
At the more mundane level, do you have any idea on what I should focus to get my alarm siren to show that it is functional as I have been able to activate the remote centre locking with the motion sensors and hazard warning lights all doing their thing but can't get a beep out of the siren?The car came with 2 siren keys, one has a 1 on it and the other has a 2 - both seem to turn it off and on but I cant get any reaction!

Slightly off subject sorry Tony, reference the average speed camera’s, I recently did a journey from Bristol to Cambridge and on both legs regularly get passed by many vehicles (mainly HGV’s), in the 50/60 mph zone between Reading and Heathrow,what to they know that I don’t?
SatNav. In those 50 zones on the motorway I tend to tweek the cruise control till the SatNav tells me I'm doing 50. The speedo on the dash of all cars is wrong/high. So all those people I pass probably have exactly 50 showing on their dash while they're really just doing 47 or less.

That's why I got a head up display (HUD) it runs off satellite like your satnav and gives accurate speed.

Yes, la Rochelle would be fine for me - not ben there for ages. I wonder how many other Z3s we could attract from the UK?
