Yeah - That energy saving mode really bugged me - as if it actually does anything. Complete marketing bs.
All their interactive is run by a bad agency - I will put money on it. Can you prove me wrong? Just so you guys don't think I have a issue with the brand - I have a 2003 M3.

I have a problem with the spurious competence of their interactive agency! - W On Sat, Jun 28, 2008 at 1:55 PM, Tim Barkow <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > But it has energy-saving mode! :) (leave the page up for 15-30 seconds) > > Funny thing is, the page sets a locale cookie, which (correctly) IDs me as > being in the US.
