I was one of the first to receive the reflash over a year ago. I thought i had noticed a slightly quicker shifting but after driving it a while, I'm not quite convinced. I drive almost exclusively in manual mode. The times that i have switched…

Hi! thanks for the info, I've actually seen the picture of the 1st anniversary at the dealer :) That's the dealer I bought my car from and they have a HUGE panoramic picture of everyones car :)

I've been searching for a rear-view mirror as small as the one you show in the pics you posted. Where did you find such a small mirror? Do you remember the make of car it came from?
