nice site.. like the "car phone" option, hilarious.
anyone else know/recognize what some of the other knob options are?

thanks for the translating pages..
evidently some of the more interesting options were additional heating controls,
and a 'radio guidance sensor' for extra tuning.. pretty cool.

The French don't like German cars much. They have Citroen, Puegot and Renault. It is a nationalistic thing.

Manual Climate Control !!!!

G'mornin',

From browsing the options page, it seems that a lot of the standard features here in the USA were optional in France.....

Also, it appears that the dreaded Automatic Climate Control was also an option over there.......

neat website......although I prefer this one in German.... www.astralsilber.de/
