Now that's a good question, and I don't know for sure...

Im pretty sure it's standard. Even my mom's like base mini cooper has it, and thinking back on it my like base loaner 328's all had it too. I really don't find much value in the premium package because the comfort go is included on all bmws now, and you can pick up the auto dim for $250. Is it just me or is bmwusa down right now.. tried to look this stuff up.

Hopefully you're right, but now that we know an oil temp gauge isn't standard, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Is it up-armoured for duty in Detroit?

Many of us BMW owners never take our cars into the city. A sad fact.

Dimming rear view mirrors and folding door mirrors.

That looked like an older is250 at first glance in black. Weird

Sorry don't think that is correct, the Driver Comfort pack has Cruise and the rear and front parking sensors. Well thats what seems to be on my order when I added this package.

HF Integrale · 02-26-2014, 09:35 PM

Congratulations!
I can't believe it was sold that quickly. I think we had it for barely 2 days. And I didn't (no one did) even get a chance to test drive it

Either way, happy for you.

Apologies. You're right The folding mirrors are a £275 extra option.

The key fob looks identical to all F-chassis BMWs aside from the F15 X5. Look up the key for an M Sport 3 Series or 4 Series and it will look like that.

Same car??? I hope not...

Wow. That is so brutal.

Reznick · 03-04-2014, 08:36 AM

Congrats. My dealer just called to say they got 2 in yesterday. I want to head over for a test drive but it's 4 degrees out today. I really have high hopes for this car. I passed last year an the new 3 and the 4 series just didn't do anything for me.( no offense to the 3 and 4 guys I'm not trying to start sh!t.It's just, for me, the 3 has gotten away from what I liked about all the other 3 series I have) It's just the wife and me.I have no need for a 4 door and prefer the look of a 2 door.So I'm really hoping BMW did what I think they did with this car

HowardM · 03-08-2014, 01:58 PM

nice looking....color is nice considering what THEY HAD TO OFFER YOU! How firm and tight is the steering at lower speeds? If it feels like a 3 series coupe from about 5 years ago I would be happy?

F80_M · 03-08-2014, 02:56 PM

Was browsing through the other thread of this vehicle being crashed. Apparently the car is from MD and had 200 miles.....

My car is in great health and loving every second of driving it.

It was someone else's car, which totally sucks for them.
