Nice subtle touches. Still amazing that Rearview Camera is not standard

My guess would be they assume people wanting 20" wheels also want summer performance tires, meaning they will be swapping those with a set of winters if they live where it snows...

I couldn't even find all seasons to match the 20s. Maybe it's because tire makers won't make them.

Too many things are optional on top of the range/top series BMWs - used to be the joke about do you want a steering wheel with the car...
But it is 2016, whilst I understand it on say a basic 1 series, it's lame so much is missing. |

I never understand why people go for the compromise of all season (no season) tires. Summer performance and dedicated winter tires (for those of us who experience winter condition) makes so much more sense. With all seasons, not only is the handling compromised, but stopping distance is also inferior to summer or winter tires in their respective condition.

Well, for UK buyers it will be standard, (don't know if its for any other markets?) as my dealer has just sent me an email about my order saying that my order spec will be changed due to changes being made by BMW commencing week 1 builds. Unfortunately, the interior and exterior design packs are now not being offered on the SE which has pissed me off....as the base model looks rubbish without the extra bling and the front and rear 'skid plates'.....

Typical with BMW, changes with slow implementations make it always a bit of gamble, we about to put an order for the X5 40e, and was considering the reverse camera option but now I see you got confirmation this is now standard for this side of the Atlantic I guess.
I have to make sure I have the up-to-date list of changes since normally Ireland matches UK on spec. Quote:

moving the edrive badges to the d pillar better not translate to moving the xdrive badges there too.
also, would love to know why the window trim was changed from body color to matte black. the diesel gets a 1600 price hike for the same new features as the others yet the edrive gets no hike.. can we see this as bmw moving away from diesels to push their edrive? contrast stitching not available for ventilated seats.. thats going to be like 90% of the cars bought. i would have thought getting the best seats would get the stitching and not the other way around. initially they say alternate wheels but then further down talk about streamlining it (removing options) a lot of this looks like cost cutting measure by bmw but charging more.. who would have thought...

My dealer moved the production slot for my car to Feb to see if the rear view camera show up as standard, I am ordering the 40e M sport, unfortunately no sign of it as standard.
So the mystery goes on, especially when the document in this tread do not refer to it. I was going to include this as an option if standard I love to know so I can spend my cash in something different. Will hate to confirm the order now and miss out on the idrive 5 with touch screen by couple of weeks only as well any other features. |
