I agree that the cup holders in the F30 are perfect! Very deep and small diameter. I expect the F22 to be the same, no?
I hope they didn't screw 2 series owners.

Very nice. It sounds good for stock exhaust. M Performance Exhaust should sound great.

Nope, that's stock. Has the black chrome tips and M Performance Exhaust has silver tips. Also don't think it's available just yet.

Oh well, gotta pay to have it first I guess....

I agree on the cloth seats, but you never know, it become available at a later point. I don't see the painted mirrors sticking around past the LCI either.
There is a secret to this. If you don't want nav and some of the things in premium package, you can check auto headlights for $250 and it adds auto dimming rear view mirror for free. I am assuming probably not side mirrors though as it says auto dim mirror (singular). While the premium package is cool, i just don't find some of the things to be of much value anymore. Comfort access.. who cares now that all bmws have comfort go. I mean clicking the keyfob in the parking lot isnt that bad, if anything, i kind of like it more. having your car light up for you and everything. So i guess nav would be the big thing. Not too big of a fan of car nav really just outdated so quickly.

can ea. mirror's power folding be initiated individuallly by the driver?
If the outside mirrors are like the E82, they fold out once you are going ~20 MPH or something like that.

To my knowledge, they don't fold in automatically--gotta hit a little button for that.

And I hear ya on the packages...sucks...

I heard the indicator lights on the mirrors are blinding. OP Is this true? Have you experienced them being too bright and in your face?

I think anything within the cabin or near the driver should never be very bright as not to distract them from seeing ahead or behind. I set my interior dash lights to the lowest setting and wish i could go lower. I once remember when you could turn them off. can anyone code that options wishful thinking.

Do you need premium for the folding mirrors?
