And the latest offering is dual zone a/c. When was this released as standard issue?I told him he could probably get a new one for around 40 grand, is this true?He wants a S/H one by the sound of it though and wants to get the best value he can get. I gave him some dates for the rods etc but they were only guestimates at bestAny info to pass onto him would appreciated.Thanks,Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I think)I don't know about the duel climate, I didn't think it was ever stock, even today.Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wanted to know my VIN number and from that he told me mine had the updated parts when he looked it up on the computer. Mine is a May 06 BF.

I've never driven a BA.True? DorkoI think they are the same size as the BA premium brake uprade, only minus the slotted rotors.They work OK if used once maybe twice pretty hard , but after that they fade and get all wobbly in the peddle until they hardly work at all.The fluid gets hot (boils) and is not effective. The bigger brake diameter dissapates the heat better. Fred Flintstone could've stopped more consistantly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
