I've used two of these droppers without any radio interference.
IIRC it was the cheap plug in types that were causing problems.

Just a quick couple of pics of the 8 while I drove it to NL. Here she is parked up in an underground garage where my family live.

I couldn't think of a better car to drive 7-8 hours in across the continent...the B&O is just sublime and together with the ACC it makes the drive a complete joy.

lovely car as always, great location for photo shoot.

However my OCD wouldn't allow me to leave it uncentered in parking box.

:ROFL:

My family live in the south called S'Hertogenbosch (aka Den Bosch) if that means anything....not in a garage but if given the choice of a 2 bed house or a garage this size i know what i'd choose :D

I lived in Germany for nine years. from 18 years of age. Since then I have driven to and fro all over Europe from Norway/Sweden down to Portugal/Italy and the old Yugoslavia. Not like a normal visitor/tourist/worker but as a Coach driver/tour manager. So I have become quite familiar with Europe in general.
S'Hertogenbosch is an area that I have spent some time in one way and another. I once spent a week there on a farm during a town twinning visit because they were the only family with a yard large enough to park my 12 mtr coach in. When I think about it that seemed to be the norm for me during visits like that.
Once in Hasselholm, Sweden I was accomodated in a schol classroom because the school yard was the only place I could park the bus. Worked out well because I managed to repair their data network for them.
I have many strange experiences like this but will leave them for another day.

[unfortunately] I am the same, it drives me mad most of the time, but it's all gone when walking away from the car seeing it parked dead centre in the bay :D

I always loved this car and I have to say its still looking very nice +++

She's just had her annual service with Jack Barclay Audi and passed her MoT without advisories. Given all suspension arms and tyres were changed last year, I was hoping she'd sail through :)

I have to say, I do really like Jack Barclay Audi in Wandsworth from a customer service point of view. Good on updates, friendly and courteous. Apparently they get quite a few D3 and D4s but nothing with this spec or condition and a few of the mechanics and sales folks had a proper look at it whilst in lol.

I was also able to see quite a bit of what happens in the workshop as my dashcam records when the ignition is on....some funny banter!

Hopefully another year of happy motoring! :p

Well done Oli! We will have to arrange another SE meet up soon!
I love the sight of a fresh MOT with no advisories - just had 2 done like that and it looks mighty fine!!
