This thing is just different and most importantly more than what you'd need (For those who are thinking of spending $4-5k to upgrade to B&O...the HK is extremely more than enough!)

Great to hear about the HK system! I was debating the BO vs. HK all thru the waiting process. I am somewhat of an audiophile (acoustically treat room etc.) and found it hard to justify the additional expense because I know no matter what I spend on a car system it cannot match what I hear at home.

considering the B&O being superior, I still think the difference between those two is marginal...and that's why IMO, it is not worth the $4-5k delta...but this is just my 2 cents...

The Blue is super pretty.

Anyone know the differences between Rear Comfort and normal Rear seats?

pics of the differences?

I see that Shaw ordered them...and I am trying to determine exactly what my build would be.

Thanks!

It just gives you additional flexibility to pull the seats front & back (on a rail), also the back rests in a few angles...it is a decently priced option if you have kids... I added them because of my kids...

Re: yellow fog lights, they are yellow for a reason, doesn't get absorbed into fog as easy as white/blue light. My ML350 has yellow fogs.

no I agree with you r comment...however, on my F10, the color difference wasn't that big...I had Xenon and foglights...foglights weren't as yellow as the ones on the F15...

Just found this thread tonight. Thanks for the great pix. This is nearly the same order that I have in now - Imperial Blue, Luxury Line, Pure Wood trim, Y-spoke wheels. Biggest difference is that I did opt for the Mocha Nappa instead of Dakota. Had to have the multi-comfort seats


Quick question - now that you've had it for 6+ months, anything you'd change? What're your thoughts on the pure wood trim? Not many people seem to go of that; I'm curious if you're still liking it.

My wife and I ordered one very similar to yours with the same colors. I'm glad to see we made the right choice, looks great!

I love the Imperial blue on your car. We went with Carbon Black over Tera Dakota and fineline wood trim.

I totally agree with you on the HK sound. It's plenty. I have B&O in my M5 and it has a tone of squeaks and rattles that BMW is aware of and cant fix it.
