Although I am trying now to manage a release without thunk but suspect that even someone with the footwork dexterity of Rudolf Nureyev would have difficulty. What do you think of the aluminium trim on the centre console?

I'm pretty sure its plastic in an aluminium style, but if its anything like my BMW the trim will dint and scratch as soon as you get your car keys anywhere near it :-(

Just spotted that we have the USB connection hidden in the glovebox as well, happy days

My BMW320d has aluminum trim and it's very tough - and real aluminium not plastic. My XC90 is coming with Walnut - not sure if real or not - probably real if the oher Volvo wood trims are anything to go by.

Do you have clutch judder problems in your BMW? Or is it an auto? (Just an aside - got issues with mine - already had a new clutch and DMF under warranty and going in again - only 18000 on the clock from new!)
