What is the remaining functionality? What additional features does this stand alone feature has? |

makes sense with the contrast stitching on Dakota. I inquired about having it done but frankly got nowhere before ordering my car... It would be a nice addition to the interior.
I wonder if this "technical update" for the transmission would be available to the early adopters.. though it would only make sense to get this if there is also a fuel efficiency gain as well... |

I wonder if the transmission update will be made the 2014 cars when they go in for their next service.

This is the first i've heard of any planned changes to the N55 motor. Changing displacement is a big change even though its only increasing by a small amount.

According to my sources, the technical update is not software but actually hardware change to the transmission. So updates are not likely for existing owners.

Safe assumption, but to be sure, you'll want to ask a CA or someone in the know at BMW. All of the marketing materials indicate the transmission changes are effective at the start of production for MY15.

Others said the soft close doors won't be included in packages and will be a stand alone option, which is what I wish. I don't want the soft close doors. Is this option packaged differently due to different lines (X line vs. Luxery Line vs M line? Is it packaged differently due to different models (35i vs 35D vs 50i)? Nobody at my dealer seems to know. They just say their build says it part of the package.

My BMW dealer told me the 8-speed now has all new revised gear ratios including 5.00 first gear ratio, and a taller 0.64 eighth gear ratio. I cannot find any information to confirm this, or the exact details; does anyone have any further information ?

yep. Unfortunately had to pony up an extra $600 for them, as I love them on my M5. They are a must for kids
